...their minds about what they learned” (Simuchimba 2008: 79). Philosophy is the seeing/viewing or understanding of life with its different aspects in an individual’s way or sometimes there could be a group of people viewing things the same way or rather they agree with each other’s ideas. Philosophy of Education then is the way an individual values education, especially formal education. Msango et al in (Tembo 2000: 33) define Philosophy of Education as: A critical and systematic intellectual endeavour to see education as a whole and as an integral part of men’s culture .... any philosophy dealing with or applied to the process of public or private education and used as a basis for the general determination, interpretation and evaluation of educational problems having to do with objectives, practices and outcomes, child and social needs; materials of study and all other aspects of the field. “Philosophy of Religious Education deals with any problems and issues in the Philosophy of Education that affects Religious Education as a curriculum subject” (Simuchimba 2008: 2).

...Dreadlocks are an extremely prominent symbol of Rastafari. Dreadlocks are considered the natural state of African hair when it is left to grow as God intended as what Numbers 6:5 states- All the days of his vow of separation, no razor shall touch his head. Until the time is completed for which he separates himself to the Lord, he shall be holy. He shall let the locks of hair of his head grow long. Dreadlocks originated in Africa but goes back to biblical times when it was worn by the Nazarenes. One of the Nazarite vows is “They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard nor make any cuttings in their flesh” which can be found in the book of Leviticus 21:5. Nowadays dreadlocks is worn by everyone even if they are not a committed Rasta. I recommend that the dreadlocks should not be as sacred and significant since it is now being worn by non-committed Rastafarians. Marijuana or Ganja is very sacred and has a lot of uses in the Rastafari community. It is used for medicinal purposes and is use for smoking as a part of a ritual. Ganja is also considered the “wisdom weed” by Rastafarians, as its use helps one to gain wisdom. Rastafarians believe that the Ganja was found on King Solomon’s grave hence that is why they believe it is a God given herb. Ganja is also seen by Rastafarians as the herb of life mentioned in the Bible. Rastafarians use of ganja is justified by the following Psalms 104:14 that says, “He causeth the grass to...

Throughout the play we see several similarities between the Bale and the author of the book, Soyinka. Lakunle, the schoolmaster is very intrigued with the whole idea of civilization and modernity. He forces his way of civilization on Sidi, the jewel of Ilujinle, the girl he wishes to marry, however Sidi being very sassy and loyal to her culture doesn’t wish to be modern or understanding to anything modern e.g. when Lakunle kisses her she quickly push him away and says she find the thing he does with his mouth disgusting. She often insults and calls him mad; whenever she does this he quickly disrespects her. Example of this is seen in Morning when he refers to her as a Bush girl with a small mind. While Baroka on the other hand, referred to as the cunning fox uses his tricks...

...Exploring the Broken Bay Catholic Diocesan Religious Education Curriculum Document Student’s Name Institution Exploring the Broken Bay Catholic Diocesan Religious Education Curriculum Document In Catholic schools, religious education is the first area of learning. Religious education enables children and the youth to justify, explain and understand Christian message and teachings as they are taught by the Catholic Church (Carswell, 2001). Religious education is taught to all those who follow and believe in Christ in the world. Through learning, students are taught research, guided on how to study and overall learn how Christians should live (Ryan, 2003). These students also get to know the distinctive vision of the Catholic Church. The Catholic curriculum systematically directs students and enhances them to reflect critically on the meaning of being a Catholic (Carswell, 2001). In Australia, Religious Education Curriculum is imperative, and a must learn program for all years of schooling.

The public symbols are the most dominant. These involve hair styling and their use of food. Hair styling Many Rastafarians wear dreadlocks and beard, but not all of them do. To grow dreadlocks, Rastas just wash it and leave it. The locks take time to grow and one cannot just change his or her hairstyle without showing all of his or her hair. Therefore, it is a symbol of commitment. Rastas’ locks are also a semi- permanent symbol that signifies their devotion to Jah. The use of Food Rastafarians do not eat meat, they are strictly vegetations. Their diet has to be natural; therefore no artificial food is used. Only a few dairy products are eaten.

...Andrade 1 Carla Andrade Mr. Jones p.2 November 23, 2013 Pro Prayer In School Over the years, many Americans have discussed the issue about prayer in school. It has been heavily debated since the 1960s, when the Supreme Court decided that prayer in school was unconstitutional and was removed from all public schools. Many people believe that the elimination of prayer in school is beneficial to the students. They say that because religion is private and schools are public it is better that the two should not mix. “To introduce religion in our public schools, builds walls between children who may not have been aware of religious differences before.” (state/church) This, however, its contradicted by many factors that have been seen over the years. Prayers have the power of creating a spiritual atmosphere that helps students drive into values such as humility and discipline. Which is why many people believe that prayers should be allowed in school to develop the maturity of the students. “Banning prayers in school could mean depriving the school children of their freedom of religion.” (prons and cons of prayer in school) According to the First Amendment of the Constitution, all American people have freedom of Andrade 2 religion, press, and expression. Therefore, every children who attends school should have the right to pray at school. Those who are in favor of prayers in school, believe that prayer is an essential part of the school routine. For them, it seems quite...

...“In many parts of the world today religious education is facing dramatic challenges.” (catholicireland.net, 2012). We live in a world where society is greatly affected by the ways and customs of different religions and cultures. The questioning of the relationship between religion and education in Ireland has been a sizeable debate recently. The increase in immigration etc. has resulted in new and diverse religions and cultures being introduced into Irish society. Naturally this means that change is imminent. When people first heard that I would be studying to become a religious education teacher their reactions were mostly what I had expected. The look on their face said it all for most people. I could tell they were thinking that religious education was not a real subject. That is was merely a subject where you could catch up on homework or sit back, relax and watch a movie. Of course my natural instinct was to defend the subject as I knew why I wanted to and was going to study to become a religious educator. However as I found myself trying to explain, it was challenging to try and find the words to define what the subject is and what it entails. It was difficult to do this without sounding like a “holy joe” as the expression goes. It made me realise that I needed to sit down and think in detail the meaning of religious education and also what I think the future of religious education in Ireland looks like? Will religious education still be a subject in Ireland in years to...
