The appeal of the religious and cultural traditions discussed in this chapter were important to all groups because it allowed the people of those regions to develop a cultural identity by establishing their own religion and moral code. It’s very interesting how as soon as we began to settle and develop societies we moved to creating order and hierarchies. When disorder became prominent, we developed rules and means to remain civilized. Out of the rules and means we developed religion, which directly affected our culture and more compass.
For example, when we consider the Zoroastrianism we begin to see a God of truth, light, and goodness. Zoroastrianism is the beginning of most religions all around the world. It’s specifically, the beginning of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The common theme with each is that the religions are based on good and evil as well as a heaven and a hell. These beliefs were important because it gave people some structure to live by and faith. This faith could carry them into the eternal afterlife. Photo References:
