The nature and dynamics of world religions: a life-history approach

        Religion is a human being’s relation to that which they regard as holy, sacred, spiritual, divine, or worthy of especial reverence. It could be associated to human behavior, the distinction between good and bad or right and wrong behavior. In this perspective, religious beliefs are not part of a life-history coordinated strategy per se. Rather, they are a set of beliefs that are pragmatically held by slow-life individuals to help them moralize fast-life behaviors. Several problems arise as a result of these historical events. Why did world religions emerge so late in human history and in such a few locations? Why did they exhibit the same extremely unique combination of close cooperation, limited sociosexuality, and delayed gratification across civilizations? Why have they lost their allure in many developed countries? The defense of a high degree of prosociality is a characteristic of world religions. For example, they all support a variation of the "golden rule," which states that one should treat others as one would like to be treated.

               This paper investigates whether species adjust resource allocation in the face of trade-offs between various performance objectives (e.g. growth versus reproduction, exploitation versus exploration). Recent research has revealed that individuals, particularly humans, adapt their growth strategy to the environment through phenotypic plasticity.

                This express that in a harsh environment, organisms appear to adopt a "fast" strategy while in affluent environments, organisms develop a "slow" strategy, aiming for larger but less certain benefits, while in less affluent environments, organisms develop a "quick" strategy, aiming for larger but less certain benefits.  In Life history theory: environments and strategies, The basic principle of life history theory is that species have finite resources that should be properly distributed in order to enhance reproductive capacity success.

                 Since it involves variety of possible movements all sharing a certain belief in Christ, current Christianity provides another potential test case for the concept. For example, so-called "prosperity theology" seems to be a rather "rapid" Christian movement.

                The article is to describe this jumble of unconnected characteristics which is the extensive prosociality, limited sociosexuality, delayed gratification, and the assumption that such particular behaviors are approved by certain sort of magical fairness are all emphasized in a way that is special. To sum up, the emergence, development, and eventual decline of religious traditions are all dependent on extremely specific environmental circumstances. 


                                                                                                                                            


DISCIPLINE AND IDEAS IN THE APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES

https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/56685084.pdf

                Starting with the notion that applied sociology is "nothing but" the implementation of presumptions established by pure sociology to concrete and functional cases is all too popular. Academic social science disciplines, careers, and fields that aim to use basic social science expertise, especially from sociology, economics, and political science, and to a lesser degree psychology, social psychology, and anthropology, to make an effect on the everyday lives of societies, organizations, and individuals, are referred to as applied social sciences. The applied social sciences have turned on their own, rising quickly but through experimentation and with so little support from thinkers.

                        This study explores a variety of ambiguous assumptions, several explicit and some implicit, about the essence of applied social science are now generally understood.

                         The value free assumption is the belief that social science, whether pure or applied, is unable to formulate and define goals for the client community. Many applied social scientists have stated that all they can do is research the various implications of particular issues or propose efficient determination to attain goals that their clients have indeed identified. In assumptions concerning resistance, the relationship among applied social scientists and their clients is harmed by research, resulting in several deficiencies in the realistic application of social science.

                        The conclusions will be questioned again. These are: (a) that an applied social science is something that relates the concepts of mere or specific disciplines to specific problems; (b) that there will only be one form of applied social science; (c) that applied social sciences cannot define ends or values for their clients; and (d) that opposition to the practical application of social science is based on a lack of understanding of the principles of pure or basic disciplines.

                        The study used strategy as their method about the assumptions concerning the applied social science in terms of social science as pure and applied, engineering and clinical sociology, the value-free assumption and in concerning resistance. In engineering model the applied social sciences' role conceptions are, of course, still evolving and taking on new forms as they are exposed to new client demands and temptations.

                         It will need to focus on and systematically codify the aspects of clinical activity in the various fields in which they are currently working. In this way, we would be able to create a new branch of applied sociology, a clinical sociology, that can make the difference between policymakers and social scientists, as well as assist groups in distress.

 

                                                                                                                                            


MEGATRENDS AND CRITICAL THINKING IN THE 21ST CENTURY CULTURE

The Culture of 21st Century Education

INTRODUCTION

                       The term "21st Century Learning" refers to a comprehensive collection of information and abilities that are necessary for enabling flexibility and adaptability. It focuses on developing analytic reasoning, sophisticated problem solving, and collaborative abilities. The emphasis is now on teaching the four Cs: critical thinking, communication, cooperation, and creativity, rather than the three Rs (reading, writing, and arithmetic).

PURPOSE

                       The purpose of this project is to prepare students to become active, successful, and contributing members of society.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

                      To be successful in the 21st century, students need the knowledge and experience of self-directed and project-based learning, and to be able to effectively collaborate within diverse groups. Traditional methods of education do not nurture the development of the skill sets needed to be successful knowledge workers. When academic institutions combine flexibility, technology, and hands-on experiences, a 21st century learning culture can thrive.

OBJECTIVE

                      This aim to master knowledge and understanding to the advanced use of technology in society. To make people or learners more competent when it comes to participating in a global society. To promote the four Cs of 21st century learning, the critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity.

METHODOLOGY

                       Conducting an education program that gives an opportunity to the learners to take in and understand the Culture of 21st Century Education.

CONCLUSION

                       21st century skills are very important to students like us now than ever before. As time goes by, we are now in to a different generation which these skills should applied to have a better understanding that will make you gain more knowledge and unfortunately will lead you to a success future.


                                                                                                                                            


COMMUNITY, ENGAGEMENT, SOLIDARITY AND CITIZENSHIP

Community Engagement Matters

INTRODUCTION

                       Community engagement is a strategy for ensuring that residents have access to desirable social settings and activities, believe they can contribute meaningfully to those activities, and acquire functional abilities that allow them to fully participate.  We should know how to engage with other people in order to survive in our community. This project will ensure our participation in community engagement.

PURPOSE

                      The purpose of this project is to identify and understand the six factors that are essential to building community support for data-driven solutions, which are the organizing for ownership, allowing for complexity, working with local institutions, applying an equity lens, building momentum, and managing constituencies through change.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

                      This project is focused on how leaders can and should pursue data-driven social change efforts. This project has become more acutely relevant in recent years. Disparities in education, health, economic opportunity, and access to justice continue to increase, and the resources available to confront those challenges have not kept pace with expanding needs. As a consequence, leaders in the public and nonprofit sectors are looking for better ways to invest those resources.

OBJECTIVE

                      The aim of this project is to create social change.

METHODOLOGY

                     To pursue the social change using methods like building evidence about the practices, policies, and programs that will achieve the most effective and efficient results so that policymakers can make better decisions. Invest limited taxpayer dollars in practices, policies, and programs that use data, evidence, and evaluation to demonstrate they work, and direct funds away from practices, policies, and programs that consistently fail to achieve measurable outcomes.

CONCLUSION

                   Data-driven practices and programs hold great promise as a means for making progress against seemingly intractable social problems. But ultimately it will work only when community members are able to engage in them as leaders and partners.

 


                                                                                                                                           


CREATIVE NONFICTION

https://scholarworks.rit.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1127&context=jcws

Cultivating Convergence through Creative Nonfiction: Identity, Development, and the Metaphor of Transfer

INTRODUCTION

               Creative nonfiction course can play in such development.  Writing studies, in keeping with general education trends, began devoting itself to the question of transfer—the concept of applying knowledge/abilities across contexts. As a senior high school student under Humanities and Social Sciences, creative nonfiction is one the specialized subject we are taking. As I have learned creative nonfiction encompasses texts about factual events that are not solely for scholarly purposes. Creative nonfiction may include memoir, personal essays, feature-length articles in magazines, and narratives in literary journals. The creative nonfiction class becomes a curricular hinge, augmenting student self-investment and efficacy.

PURPOSE

                The purpose of this project is to address the inconsistent with approaches to practicing and teaching creative writing.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

                 As I have said creative nonfiction the creative nonfiction course might be a particularly productive sponsor of such development. This will help to fill the creative writing’s missing seat at the transfer table that can be due in part to the institutional divide that has existed historically between composition and creative writing curriculums as well as the social science orientation of much transfer rhetoric.

OBJECTIVE

                To show, the idea of writing transfer has expanded beyond our initial understanding and, importantly, beyond what the term itself implies. Because our limited models did not allow for the complexity of the phenomenon, we failed, according to the revised narrative, to recognize instances of transfer when they occurred.

METHODOLOGY

                 Making recommendations about creative nonfiction course on how people can preserve it to be the way of development in the field of education.

CONCLUSION

                  Writers of creative nonfiction write about themselves and others, capturing real people and real life in ways that have the potential to transform the world. The most significant and pleasurable aspect of creative nonfiction is that it permits and encourages the writer to become a part of the story or essay being written. It is the definition why it can be a way to development.

Why Writing Matters

INTRODUCTION

                 Why Writing Matters by Nicholas Delbanco wonderfully explores the art, craft, mechanics, necessity, satisfaction, and significance of writing. Writing is one of the best way in preserving our shared culture. “A signal to future and a record of the past,” Delbanco said. This line says it all. Every single word you write, helps you hone your trade and advance your abilities - particularly if you're looking to master new techniques. He wants us to understand the importance of writing and how it can change our future generation.

PURPOSE

                 Writing is very an important matter that we all need to understand. That’s why this project is necessary to be discussed. To open and change people’s mindset that writing can make change in to our future.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

                 It is a work driven by a belief in the transformative power of words, and the profound personal, cultural and historical shifts they inspire. As a piece of writing it is, in and of itself, a fine example of what it preaches. Every sentence is beautifully formed, every word wielded with skill and care.

OBJECTIVES

                  I want other people see the significance of writing. As a student and as an aspiring educator, writing is my first skill that should be focus in order to fulfill my duty as a worker. People must be convinced and dazzled that Why Writing Matters shows that it is a passion for language and for the art and craft of writing.

METHODOLOGY

                 Advertising an education program to promote the importance of writing.

CONCLUSION

                 Psychology research has been suggested that writing things down improves learning. Sure, taking notes is useful, but writing things down helps it stick in your mind. Writing allows us to keep track of what we know and forces us to engage in retrieval practice, which is a more active type of learning.

The Conversation partners on £2m research-policy project to mitigate COVID-19 pandemic’s social impacts

INTRODUCTION

                The COVID-19 pandemic is a worldwide crisis that necessitates a strong, research-driven response. It needed more financial support in order to fulfill the needs of COVID-19 patients. As the virus continuously spreading, we cannot do the things we used to do for our safety. Thinking about it makes me feel so sad and miss the old times. That’s why this partnership of the Conversation on £2m research-policy project will do everything to address the effects of COVID-19 pandemic.

PURPOSE

                 The purpose of this project is to report and explain the latest research on the virus to the general public and investigate the impacts and the potential solutions in an accessible, evidence-based way.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

                 The project is led by UCL’s Department of Science, Technology, Engineering & Public Policy (STEaPP), with whom The Conversation shares a London office. It brings together the expertise of partners including Cardiff University, Queens University Belfast, the University of Auckland, the University of Oxford, The Conversation, and leading think tanks, including the International Network for Government Science (INGSA).

OBJECTIVE

                  To mitigate COVID-19 pandemics social impacts.

METHODOLOGY

                  To address this issue they will contribute their editorial skills to the International Public Policy Observatory (IPPO), a two-year, £2 million project supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). The IPPO will develop bridges between policy and research, with a focus on minimizing COVID-19's most severe social consequences and speeding the UK's recovery from the crisis.

CONCLUSION

                 We should help each other to eradicate this pandemic. Let’s be mindful and considerate to other people by following safety protocols. It can be our simple contribution in the prevention of spreading the virus.


                                                                                                                                            


PHILIPPINE POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE

https://carnegieendowment.org/2019/01/10/philippine-politics-under-duterte-midterm-assessment-pub-78091

Philippine Politics Under Duterte: A Midterm Assessment

INTRODUCTION

              Rodrigo Duterte has been our president since 2016. Since Ferdinand Marcos, the country's infamous dictator, and Corazon Aquino, the iconic housewife-turned-president who championed the restoration of democracy in 1986, Duterte has become the most widely known Filipino politician. Although Duterte and his violent drug campaign are deserving of attention, his administration's larger policy agenda, approach to politics and governance, and effects on democratic institutions and norms have received far less attention.

PURPOSE

              The purpose of this project is to make clear about Duterte’s approach to politics and governing. To understand the three aspects of contemporary Philippine politics: the mixed record of elite democracy since 1986; the successes and shortcomings of the Benigno Aquino III administration (2010–2016); and the particularities of the 2016 presidential election.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

               Because of Duterte’s brutal drug war, his administration’s broader policy agenda which are the approach to politics and governance, and its broader impact on democratic institutions and norms. Duterte campaigned on the promise of making substantial and immediate improvements in the lives of Filipinos, particularly by vigorously combating crime and corruption.

OBJECTIVE

              To give information for the people to know and understand Duterte’s approach in politics and governance.

METHODOLOGY

              To assess Duterte’s strategy when it comes to politics and governance, conducting a campaign that shows his agenda and purpose for his people.

CONCLUSION

               Being a leader of a certain country is big responsibility for him.  The Philippines' powerful presidency, along with the malleability of most of the country's political institutions, has resulted in severe democratic backsliding. However, focusing just on Duterte overlooks two essential factors: the extent to which this deterioration has occurred via ostensibly lawful means, and the lack of opposition to strongman leadership by groups and institutions to date. This working paper examines the many forces that contribute to the Philippines' democratic backsliding.
