Hello, my name is Bruce Johnson. I am a college student andcurrently am enrolled in a psychology class. We have been given an assignmentand I am doing research on the following subject:
“How have different religions changed from the land oforigin and those practicing in America.” Your forum sounds like it would be aperfect place to request this type of information.
Some observed differences may be:
Hours of observation, prayer, etc.
Days of the week
In church differences structure, layout and practice
Foods
Strictness
Alcohol consumption
If you know way the changes occur, please note those aswell.
Some examples might be that there is a more lax diet. Thiscould be due to the fact that America processes foods differently. Or lamb orbeef are consumed and sometimes are hard to avoid etc.
Some practices may be different due to the fact the there isonly one nationally recognized belief in a given country, and therefore everyneighborhood has a church/place of worship, where in this country, one may haveto go 50 miles to the closest place of worship, and therefore you would not goas often. Or that you have to be more discreet and not as open, therefore youmay have to change some practice.
Or some practice in the place of origin is consideredillegal or frowned upon.
These are just a few samples of potential differences.
Thank you for your sharing,
Very respectfully,
Bruce
