Questions for Test

 Today in class we talked about some questions that we think should be on our test on Friday. Some of the questions are Who is the enlighted one? The answer to that is Siddhartha Gautama also known as Buddha. We also suggested that we write the religions in chronological order by the year the religions were founded. Hinduism is older then Judaism. On suggestion that we had was to write a short answer on the story of Abraham, but we decided not to do that  for the test. Another question was what two groups are the Muslims divided into? Are there more then is million Jews in the world? The answer to that question is false. Who is the central figure of Judaism? The answer to that question is kind of tricky becuase there is no central figure. We also need to know what the three Abrahamic religions are, and they are Christianity,Judaism, and Islam. We need to know that the eight fold path and the four noble truths are associated with the religion Buddhism. We need to know about the Vikings, Native Americans, and Colombus. The Europeans did conquer America ,but they were not the founders of the Americas.  The roman who liked to persecute Christians until God cam to him was Sual, who later changed his name to Paul. My class also suggested that we could match the religions to the gods that they follow. We also need to know the difference between polythestic and monothestic. Buddhism is neither polythestic or monothestic. We need to know what percent of people practice hinduism in India, and the answer is 80% of their population. We need to know the geographical places of each religion. Hinduism is manly in India, Christianity is mosltly in America and europe, Judiasm is mostly in America and Jerusalum, and Buddhism is in China. What percent of the world is Christian? They answer to that question is one third of the world. We need to know what two tribes persecute each other. We also need to know that 5.2 billion people follow the five religions that we researched. Their are one billion people in the world that clam to not follow any religion. We also need to understand what nirvana means becuase there will probally be a question about it on the test. Mr. Schick said that most likely all of the questions will be multiple choice questions or matching questions.
