Inquiry Paper
Will religion eventually become a thing of the past? As a young man brought
up in a Baptist church setting, Im beginning to ask myself what religion will look like
20 or 30 years from now. In just my short span of 18 years in the church, Ive
watched and learned how religion adapts to changes like government, laws, and
changes in society. There is no doubt that the strength of religion is becoming
weaker through science and technology, but could it also drive it into the ground?
Imagine the result of such a thing.
This topic deserves its share of research not only for what is happening to
religion in the present, but how the absence of a higher power could affect
various societies across the world. Also, you could research how technology systems
and better knowledge of our past are contributing to the decline of personal beliefs.
Surveys of different age groups could be a very instrumental method of research
when trying to figure out not if, but when religion will be from the yesteryear.
classic, guns dont kill people, people kill people, which is also true. Both reactions
are reasonable.
If I were to research this topic, I would pull statistics from databases showing
how the passing of gun control laws related to the number of violent acts in society
involving guns. This would show you the direct effect of gun control. You could also
browse pro-gun and anti-gun groups on the internet and read their own opinions on
the issue in order to get a better idea. Neither side is wrong, they just have different
reasons.
How long will it be before humans are forced to colonize outer space? Its
hard for me to imagine Earth with no human life and its landscape completely
trashed. However, at the rate humans are polluting and populating, it will eventually
be pursued. I love the Earth and all the trees, waters, and beautiful landscapes it
has to offer. Every human should have the chance to enjoy it.
I would research sustainability intensely if I wanted to answer my question.
No one knows exactly how long Earth will last but making the smallest
environmental footprint possible is a great way to prolong its life. Pollution and
population rates would also be fantastic ways to learn more about this question.
Fictional movies about life in outer space can even provide us with an idea about
what the future might hold.
