Blog#8

At first, I was frustrated that we had to do an oral presentation infront of the class to tell you the honest truth I have done oral presentation infront of class many times but I always end up getting so nervous and I start to stutter and my heart starts to beat a lot faster than usual and I screw up on my presentation but I guess this presentation went alright.
On Thursday I learn so much about different religions such as Hindusim, Daoism, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam. I learn so much things on all of the presentations. For example, I had to do research on Islam to tell you the honest truth I didn’t know much about this religion and well when I started to research this topic I learned so much like how in Islam they prohibit the cruel killing of animals and if you do kill animals you have to say a sacred prayer before you perfom any animals ritual.Also they don’t believe in no god but Allah.I thought it was really cool how in Islam that all muslims should plant a tree and respect all animals. Animals are to be killed in a certain way to cause the least amount of pain possible. In Hinduism, you are prohibited to kill any cows because the cow is our sacred animal that we pray to and it cannot be harm. Also, in Hiduism they believe in so many gods and they cant pollute. Daiosm focuses mostly on balance. Also, it says about how people shouldn’t be selfish that we should respect, care and maintain the environment so our generations can be able to use it and they don’t believe in any god. Buddhism is all about teaching us to live in peace and harmony with nature but this all comes within ourselves. It was so interesting to learn that all of the religions care a lot about the environment because over all we all want the best for the environment.Above all I think everyone did a really great job some slides were more interesting than others but overall everyone had alot of informations to share with us about their religions. I think all religions shows how we should love, care, and respect our environment. I think it’s a good thing to learn about other kinds of religions so then you woouldn’t be so selfish and think your religion is superior to others you should have an open mind that all religion might be different but whatever your religion is it shows how it wants us to protect the environment and treat it with respect and love for animals and plants.

Imagine you had to address your presentation to the whole world, thats immense pressure on you. Yup it's not easy to do public speaking but on the order you gain a great deal of exprience.

Yeah I know what you mean about being nervous when speaking in public. I also learn a lot about different religions and their link to the environment.

I was really impressed Islam Presentation. As you said, how they treat animals and trees; the statement that if we feed animals or plants, we can have reward paradise, made me nervous because I always dried or killed all the plants.
