Their similarities are pointed out in mysticism and ethical areas[1]. However, the issue of god has been a major problem in Buddhist and Muslim relationships. This divided the two traditions on the most fundamental level; thus, making it difficult for the Buddhists and Muslims to understand and accept one another[2]. It was arguable that Buddhism is the largest religion around the world when counted following the Muslim faith in other parts of East Asia. During the modern era, Buddhism has been vulnerable, but both secularism and evangelism from other religions such as Islam. Among other religions such as Christianity, Islam, and Hindus, Buddhism is predicted to decline both in terms of numbers and as a proportion of the world population. However, Islam is still increasing, and this makes Muslims be over five times as many as Buddhists.

Reply to Jaswinder Kaur Hello, Kaur! I found your post interesting regarding your worldview on spirituality. As far as a worldview is concerned, all of us have different opinions on spirituality. Apart from your definition of spirituality concept, I also think that spirituality involves the link between our creator and us. As a result, my spirituality would enhance my perspective on different things in the world that I take to be God’s creations. Generally, my worldview does not limit me to consider other people’s worldviews. I, therefore, respect your worldview its influence on patient care. Just like in your case, my spirituality on worldview helps me to provide the best care for the patients. Reply to Daira Parra Excellent post, Parra!

Differing Ethical Theories on Euthanasia Is Euthanasia morally or ethically, right? The moral and ethical controversies that g have corresponded to this debate leave the resolution to the chance that the individual perspective will prove to be the most convincing. Euthanasia refers to a choice that is made by or for people that are suffering from fatal diseases. There are two paths when it comes to this decision; passively letting one die or actively administering doses that kill the patient. Either way,ethical issues that are attached to Euthanasia are far from a nondescript approval when it comes to the consideration of ethics, human rights,spirituality, and many other factors. Subsequently, there is a development of ethical theories that try to explain the concept. In this context, there are different ideas that are discussed in the utilitarianism theory versus the deontological theory. From the perspective of the utilitarianism theory, an action is only right if it increases the broader perspective of acceptance of good. The approach supports the increase in wellbeing and goodness of life. Therefore, if an action is done according…
stereotypes in a poem Introduction The basic element in this poem is stereotypes. The poem also entails criticism, prejudgments and ignorance in the society. Stereotypes in this poem symbolize how the author was aggravated by the general ignorance of the society. The one who asks the Native American questions is dumb in a way and very curious to know more about the American. The poem has majored in stereotypical questions about culture, religion and heritage. The poem is more of both dialogue and monologue; however the conversation in the poem is very awkward. It is a part of human nature to isolate the minority the other person in the poem is very prejudiced. He thinks that he knows the author based off one fact, that she is a Native American. The other person is very inquisitive and impolite to the other. This is clear shown in the following lines. So that’s where you got those high cheekbones. Your great grandmother, huh? An Indian Princess, huh? Hair down to there? Oh, so you’ve had an Indian friend? That close? Oh, so…
Pride Toronto Pride Toronto is a non-profit organization that promotes transgender rights in Toronto. The primary goal of the movement is to eliminate violence and discrimination against trans folks in regards to housing, employment, and access to healthcare services. The organization holds an annual transgender festival, where they celebrate the diversity and gains made by the LGTBQ community in Toronto.

Three in ten trans students report sexual abuse within their schools in the past year. These statistics prompted Pride Toronto to prioritize access to quality education…
The six-day war and the emergence of terrorism in the Middle East In 1967, the six-day conflict between the Israelis and the Arabs neighbours occurred after the dispute and concerns escalate existing tension between the two. After r a series of smaller military strikes between the countries in the region the soviet intelligence observed an increased tension. They reported a piece of false information that the Israel military had planned a military campaign against Syria. While Egypt started to prepare for war, the Israelis launched an attack against them and Syria, and this marks the beginning of the six-day war between Israel and an alliance of Egypt, Syria and Jordan (Cooley, 2002). To date, the motive of the war is still debated by historians, yet its impact significantly shaped the politics of the entire region. In one day, the Israelites had humiliated the Arab countries and destroyed the whole Egyptian military air force. In five days, they were occupying the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza strip, the Golan Heights and the East Jerusalem. Again, like all other military actions, a massive…
Cultural and Spiritual Beliefs and Practices of Mormons The Mormons are a cultural group in the US that gets their identity from their religion that revolves around the teachings of their prophet Joseph Smith (Cranney, 2017). The members of the cultural groups only allow individuals from their religious affiliations to attend to health-related issues and illnesses. Based mostly in Utah, the group relies on several biblical scriptures to justify their choice of healthcare access and other essential components related to the healthcare of the members. From its conception, the Mormons have had great antipathy towards individual physicians from other religions (Ali, 2016). Therefore, they encourage the droves of their members to pursue health-related careers so that they could provide healthcare services to the group based on the teachings of the religion and its values. However, the most meaningful cultural and spiritual value is how the group ties mental health and the interventions related to the illness to religion and the role of the psychotherapist (Cranney, 2017). According to the Mormons, the responses made by the psychotherapists in dealing with…
