Instructions: Answer the following questions:
1. From your readings, how do you define religion? How does religion influence your
identity?
Religion is defined as the belief in a divine entity or deity. Religion can have a
substantial impact on an individual's identity if the person engaged is genuinely
religious or highly committed to his or her religion. Parental influence may also play a
role in religion's influence on identity formation.
2. Discuss how globalization affected your religious beliefs and practices?
Globalization has had an impact on how people respond to their religion and beliefs.
Various platforms were used to improve one's relationship, particularly when
proclaiming God's message. Religious organizations have found that using social media
to share the word of God and welcome more people has been quite beneficial.
3. How does religion became the source of global conflict and peace?
Religious groups also speak out against repression and promote peace and healing.
Religious leaders and institutions can mediate conflicts, serve as a channel for dialogue
between opposing parties, and provide peacemaking training.
4. Choose one international organization. Paste a photograph below that represents it
and cite the source. Write a short description of the organization, background,
accomplishments and future plans for humanitarian assistance.
United Nations
The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization aiming to maintain international
peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international
cooperation, and be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations. It is the world's largest
and most familiar international organization.
Accomplishments
The establishment of peace and security in East Timor (Fact Sheets 6 and 17).
The addressing of humanitarian needs by UNHCR, IOM, WFP and UNICEF, which were all
instrumental, together with UNTAET, in ensuring that humanitarian needs were met quickly
after the violence of 1999. Over 200,000 refugees, one-quarter of the population, have since
returned to East Timor (Fact Sheet 9).
The holding of free, fair and completely peaceful elections on 30 August 2001 that resulted
in an 88-member Constituent Assembly that drafted and approved East Timor’s first
Constitution (Fact Sheet 4).
The creation of the Second Transitional Government and appointment of the fully Timorese
Council of Ministers (Fact Sheet 3) now running the day-to-day activities of the Government.
The Council, appointed on 20 September 2001, replaced the Transitional Cabinet created in
July 2000 (which consisted of four East Timorese members and four UNTAET
representatives).
The holding of free, fair and completely peaceful presidential elections on 14 April 2002 that
resulted in the election of independence leader Xanana Gusmão as East Timor’s first
president.
