Evaluation(EXAMPLE 6 MARK QUESTION'S ANSWER - HAVE TO REFER TO CHRISTIANITY): I think that having a religious upbringing is a good thing because it allows you to make friends with the same religion. It will be easier to keep these friends because you will all be united through one common factor; religion. Also it can inspire people to do good. Some religions teach that if people do good they will be rewarded in the future; if people know this they will want to go out and do good so they may get a reward. Furthermore a religious upbringing brings families together as they are all part of the same thing; if families all followed different religions they may be separated more due to no common factors. HOWEVER some people will disagree with me. They will argue that a religious upbringing is a bad thing. They may think this because if you only learn about one religion it can lead to the hatred of other religions due to lack of understanding. What people do not understand makes them cautious; there could be an increase in racism. Additionally a religion may force beliefs on young people which they don not believe in. For example ROMAN CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS say that abortion is never acceptable; some people may argue that it is in some circumstances but cannot voice this due to their religion. Also a religious upbringing may cause bullying - especially a young person had no choice in the religion they have been brought up to follow. |
