A reflective essay on world religions Religions are spiritual traditions in the world. They account for about 83% globally. Christianity and Islam are among the major religions distributed across the globe. There other religions like Hinduism, Judaism and Buddhism, among others. Beliefs, customs and purposes differentiate religions; but they exhibit some similarities. As part of my online class, I took a visit to the Jewish Orthodox synagogue and an evangelical church. The experience of being in the two religions was intriguing. This paper provides a reflection of my experiences upon visiting these two places of worship. The Jewish Orthodox synagogue Jewish synagogues conduct prayers and Torah teachings. These practices are a replacement of the ancient Jewish sacrificial rituals that signified worship.

The Evolutionary Advantages of Artistic Thinking” by Sam McNerney (2012) is compelling because it relates to the human evolution puzzle. In more than 45,000 years ago, for no apparent reason, the human species took off. Populations started thriving, technology progressed rapidly, and humans started crafting and painting. From there, cities were built, and the human population became the most dominant on the planet. However, natural selection does not explain this change. Besides, our genetic make-up is identical to that of our ancestors who lived 100,000 years ago. Also, all these aspects of human success, such as language, culture, big brains, tools, and fire, have been in place for millions of years ago, but nothing happened. McNerney makes a good argument supported by scientific experiments. However, the effects associated with different sex drive for men and women, gender injustice and the varying research environments affect the results of the studies Summary The article aims to answer the question of the relationship between sex and creativity through a study conducted…
