    There are only a few religions that can claim the adherence of large numbers of people. Geographers distinguish two types of religion: universalizing and ethnic. Universalizing religions attempt to become global, and appeal to all people, regardless of where they may live in the world, not just to those of one culture or location. An ethnic religion appeals primarily to one group of people living in a single place. “About sixty two percent of the world’s population adheres to a universalizing religion, twenty four to an ethnic religion, and fourteen percent to no religion”. The three main universalizing religions are Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. “Each of the three branches is divided into branches, denominations and sects. A branch is a large and fundamental division within a religion. A denomination is a division of a branch that unites a number of local congregations in a single legal and administrative body. A sect is a relatively small group that has broken away from an established denomination”. Christianity has two billion followers and has the most widespread distribution. It is the predominant religion in North America, South America, Europe, and Australia (countries with a Christian majority exist in Africa and Asia as well). “Christianity has three major branches: Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox. Roman Catholics comprise 53 percent of the world’s Christians, Protestants 21 percent, and Eastern Orthodox 10 percent”. Roman Catholicism is the dominant Christian branch within Europe. The Eastern Orthodox branch of Christianity is a collection of fourteen self-governing churches in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Roman Catholics make up ninety three percent of Christians in Latin America, compared with twenty nine percent in North America. “Within North America, Roman Catholics are clustered in the southwestern and northwestern United States and the Canadian province of Quebec”. Islam is the religion of 1.3 billion people, and is the…

    A survey done by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life detail statistics on religion in America. Among the 35,000 adults surveyed, ages 18 or older, 78.4% considered their selves to be Christian. Christian, meaning either Protestant, Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah’s Witness, Orthodox, or other Christians. 4.7% are considered other religions, such as Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, other world religions, and other faiths. Those to be considered Atheist, Agnostic, or nothing in particular were about 16.1%. Only an insignificant 0.8% didn’t know or refused a religion. Many key findings were found based on these surveys. More than ¼ of American adults (28%) left the faith in which they were raised in favor of another religion- or no religion. The survey does confirm that the United States is becoming a minority Protestant country (51%). But another reason why the survey might be wrong is because the United States has the theory of separation of church and state that is enforced in the country.…

    Nearly one in five people in the world today are Muslim. A diverse community of believers is spread around the globe. More than fifty countries have Muslim-majority populations, while other groups of believers are clustered in minority communities on almost every continent. It is hard to determine the exact figure of the Muslim population in the United States. The reason is that there are three categories of Muslims: immigrants, converts, and those that are born to the first two groups. However, there is an estimate that varies from 5 to 8 million, of which about approximately half are women (Islam 101). There are 5.3 million females in U.S. of Asian background; this comprises 3.7% of American female population (The Health).…

    Denmark is located in the continent of Europe with a population of 5,672, 235 people (European Union, 2015). Denmark experienced a much-needed and timely cultural revolution in the 19th century, and in June of 1849, the Danish Constitutional Monarchy was formed; governmental power returned to the people and the monarchy would now play a mostly symbolic role. Denmark is an egalitarian society, most Danes are modest about their own accomplishments and are more concerned about a group than their individual needs. Women are highly respected in business and generally receive equal pay. Greetings are casual and typical hand shakes. Additionally, the United States is considered a low-context culture in relation to the Denmark, “however,…

    The Ugly Duckling

    “The Ugly Duckling” was a short story written by Hans Christian Andersen in 1844. Although it is nearly 200 years old, the story is still one of the most popular retellings within modern culture. The question, of course, becomes “why?” We all know the story: a fowl is born to a duck family, shunned by its family and community because of its looks, and later develops into a beautiful swan that is envied by everyone for its beauty. Why would this story stand the test of time to not only still be heard on the lips of storytellers around the world, but to also be retold and reinvented through modern day translations? To answer this question, we must first look at the story itself in order to first understand its literary value and then to evaluate its impact on our popular culture.…
