In class today we watched the "Supply and Demand: Crash Course Economics #4". Basically in this video the hosts discuss Supply and Demand, which may seem like a topic everyone is familiar with, but I learned a lot from the video. In elementary school the basic idea was brought up, but all we were taught was;
Price goes high ---->Demand is less = Less money and more supply Price goes down ---->Demand is high = More money and less supply These basic analogies are just the basics of supply and demand. There is so much to it and some of the things I learned are, how the chain between farmers, markets, and consumers work. It is a continuing cycle which ensures everyone gets what they want. I also learned about equilibrium and that is when there is a balance of supply and demand. This is the best outcome for both consumers and sellers and it is the best for the economy. I really connected with this video because when I grow up I'm interested in opening a business, and to do such a thing, common knowledge such as supply and demand is necessary for success.

Religion has been around for centuries now, and all religions have a system of faith. To believe in a god, or an idea is a common thing religion has made use for in society. As time passes, many have turned to science because they think, it is the best solution for a possible question. Before if anything happened such as an earthquake, religion had its answer to the reason for the earthquake. Now as science has developed we have a clear understanding of why an earthquake is to occur. Since science is pure facts, and religion is beliefs, it does not seem like a viable source of information. Myself along with many others believe one day religion won't be gone, but it will be subsidized a great amount then what it used to be. The only way to preserve it would be to teach children to believe in religions, but with school having class discussions regarding faith, and science proving religion wrong, it is very unlikely. Religion is still part of today's society but it is nothing compared to what it used to be when everyone put their hands in faith.
Source: https://www.quora.com/How-does-religion-influence-the-society-we-live-in Many philosophers in the early age of philosophy were being targeted, and sentenced to death due to their "corruptive opinions". One example is Socrates. He was sentenced to death by poison because he didn't recognize the gods which were recognized by the state. He believed every idea presented had to be critically argued to prove if its justifiable. Many more people during his time, took interest in philosophy which is basically the study of nature, reality, and existence. Religions contradicts heavily with philosophy and it makes sense why man philosophers were targeted. Religion follows the idea of faith, usually in a god or an entity, but if someone is following philosophy's number 1 rule, faith is not enough to prove liability. To make sure an idea is secure, arguments have to be made, and if arguments can't be presented, then the idea is false and isn't real.
In class we watched multiple videos regarding world religions, and what each religion consists of. The topic of learning World Religions really made me pay more attention in class, because religion is an important part of society and it definitely plays a huge role in my own life. I believe in Hinduism but I realized I really do not know anything about what I follow. I know what each god represents and what each tradition means, but I didn't even know the basics such as Brahman, Dharma, karma, etc. I recognized Hinduism was just what I am supposed to believe in as I was born, but with the realization that I do not have a proper understanding of all of it, I researched heavily on the religion. Due to us learning world religions I was able to learn many new things about Hinduism, and it makes me feel part of my Religion more than it did before, because I understand what many things mean now.
