Blog 8 Collaborative Presentations

All the students in the class did an excellent job on explaining each particular religious and the philosophy on respecting the environment. Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, and Daoism are all have a lot in common. Depending on which religion and culture we came from, these traditions teaches the moral and ethics of respecting nature around us.

Respect, preserve and nurture the enivronment or else it will come back and haunt us. Human interconnected with animals and nature in the ecology. Each living animals and plants have a role in the enivronment that we dependent on. Balance within nature makes up the environment. Don't be extravagant of buy unnecessary things that we don't need. According to Buddhism & the environment, "What happens to one creature, happens to others." Before buying any products, think will this product harm the enivronment. The most in important is its 100% recyclable material. Practice Buddhism will lead us live in harmony and peace within us.

I did not know that Islam religion doesn't have a god. Instead the Islam believe in Allah. Islam rules rewards and encourage Muslim to plant trees and respecting animals. According to Qu'ran humans, animals, plants, mountains and even rocks have relationships and specific duty and roles. The Islam religion teaches us to be good to all living things.

These days, most of people don't really care about the enivronment. Money and things are essential part of our culture life. Religion can redirect us to think of the consequence if we takes things to lightly. We need to stop blaming each other and blame on our self. We will never have enough and never satisfy of what we have. We need to escape this vicious cycle and and free our self.

Some of these slides are too wordy which kind of loss of audiences insterest. I learn that providing more pictures and explaining straight to the point will give a clear memorable picture. According to Al Gore, "An Inconvenient Truth" he gives more pictures than long statement. His ideas is still sticking in my head. I'm glad that our group distribute sourveniours to class, which I think is kind of memorable and distracting the students from asking us question :) Overall, powerpoint slide is the best things to share our presentations.
