scribbled everything on one piece of paper, making it look so rubbish-fied and crappi`fied.
argh!

*note: i am not against any religion..only merely stating the reasons ya? pls do not venture beyond this point if u think you will be offended


Why are increasing numbers of people turning to religion in both less developed and developed countries?
Karl Marx says, "Religion is the opium of the masses." He feels that the idea of God and/or a superior being is actually the invention of certain rulers, to keep the people in place and to prevent them from revolting.
It is human nature to seek solace and an explanation for things that are happening aroung us...
For the developed countries, the reasons are:
1) increasing anxiety and insecurity because of the fast-paced modern society we are living in...faith in a higher power gives them relief and comfort :)
2) it may be a form of socialising, esp. for the younger generation where they can meet and interact with other ppl of the same age ---> a sense of community, identity and belonging is instilled this way...
3) gives purpose and meaning to life???
4) (successful and rich middle-aged ) people are disillusioned by materialistic things... they may have already achieved the five Cs and want sth more meaningful out of life...
5) terrorism...???

For the less developed countries,
1)people pray for blessings in face of pending natural disasters or those that already happened, i.e. famine, drought, epidemics
2) over a third of the Africans suffer from AIDS, they may turn to religion as they are promised a miraculous cure by some churches...

ayyes. actually some reasons are common for both developed and less developed countries...ahahahahs...i sooo do not study the behaviour/psychology of ppl so don't expect the above to be flawless=p
haix. me getting lazy alrdy. but i will preserVE ON~~~

next up! "Reality TV is a sad reflection of the modern society." Comment.

NO... they are about real people in real situations. some ppl may argue that reality tv is a great form of entertainment as they are unpredictable and exiting to watch, unlike the usual serial dramas...

YES...we become voyeuristic.
1) intrusive and prying into the privacy of others...
2) we seem to enjoy watching other people being embarrassed or humiliated.
3) Reality TV may promote the wrong moral values in us... young children may think that it is okay to betray, connive, backstab and conspire in order to win the money...???

hmmms, i dont reall know what i am typing abt.

it's 20:33 now
