I’m working on a social science discussion question and need guidance to help me learn.
Question 1. Week 5: Buddhist Young Adults in Canada (+ I-C Theory)
Question 2. Week 6: History of Islam in Canada (based on PPT notes, including any required supplemental readings)
Question 3. Week 7: Muslim Young Adults in Canada (based on PPT notes, including any required videos/supplemental readings)
Question 4. Week 8: Christianity in Canada (based on PPT notes, including any required supplemental readings)
*All four questions will ask about general patterns and phenomena that emerge in the subject matter we discussed; you do not need to memorize names of particular people
1-Recall the case study of Korean Buddhists in relation to I-C Theory.
Based on this study, please provide three concrete examples of individualistic religious behaviour — one for self-representation, one for beliefs, and one for values. You may cite examples from any of the three sub-categories of Korean Buddhists in the study.
2-Recall our discussion on the history of the Muslim community in Canada.
How have the following three groups positively impacted the Muslim community in Canada over the years?
(i) Multi-functional mosques
(ii) Ismaili Muslim community
(iii) Academic community
3-Based on our studies of the Muslim young women and men in the book Growing Up Canadian, what do you think were the comparable differences between these two gender groups in terms of religious behaviour? Discuss three of them using concrete examples.
4-In his 1993 book Unknown Gods, Reginald Bibby painted a gloomy picture of the long-term fate of Canada’s churches and Christianity in Canada. Explain what Bibby originally predicted for Christianity in Canada and why he did so; ONE of his research findings in his later book Restless Gods (2002) that seemed to reinforce his prediction, and ONE that was somewhat surprising; and his most recent research findings for Christianity in Canada.
