Seminar on Religion



This week in world geography we had a seminar on religion. This took place on Tuesday morning for 3 hours. we had a budhist, muslim, christian, rabbi, and a hindu person speak. It was really enjoyable. I learned a lot from them. for instance, everytime i would pretend to meditate, i would say ommmm for fun beecause i thought it was a joke. Turns out it is very much true. The hindu person told us that evrytime he meditates (for real) he says it. I was shocked. I had no idea that for the past 14 years of my life, my whole life, i had made fun of that religion. I do not think though that i will chanfge religions though. No matter how good a seminar is, i like my religion and i want to keep it. We also watched a video about some blood sports, fighting, that is in some cultures. I was shocked that some people beat each other up for their culture and for fun. We also watched a video on Mount. Everst and did a review over the region South Asia.
One place i want ot visit, thatr i learned about this year, is Europe. I have been there before, but i did not understand anything because i was very young. Now i want to go there because i already have some knowledge on the place plus i want top tour the places in Europe such as France, Spain, and Italy some more.

This is a video with infromation on climbing Mt. Everest
