This is the original post section of the below instructions. Once I post the first post I will send you the other section to reply to in another order. If that doesn’t make sense let me know. You may access M5A1: Module 5 Discussion — Worship Services and Practices Discussion Forum in Blackboard by clicking on the link located in Module 5.For this discussion you will complete the following: Post 1 original post and reply to 1 person in each of the remaining 3 discussion forums for a total of 4 posts. For your original post, pick 1 of the Module 5 video topics (Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Native Americans) as the subject of your post. This forum is divided into 4 different sub-forums. If 4 people have already posted regarding the “Hindu videos,” then pick one of the other video topics for your original post. If there are 4 original posts in each sub-forum, then you may pick whichever topic you find the most interesting. Ideally, if you have a religious faith (such as Christian or Jewish), then you should consider picking one of the other religions for your original post. Pick one worship activity or idea that is presented in the video and respond to 1 other person in each of the other sub-forums. For example: if you write your post about Hinduism, then respond to someone else who posts about Judaism, Christianity, and Native Americans. Additionally, try to respond to your fellow students who respond to your posts. This is not required, but it does demonstrate your awareness and participation in the class process. Please see the starter posts in each of the 4 forums and use them as a model for the assignment.As noted earlier in this module, some of the videos are 4-6 minutes, others are an hour or more. For example, the variety of American Christian worship service videos are whole service (often an hour or more), but most of the other videos are shorter (less than 10 minutes). On the longer videos you do not need to watch the whole video but should watch enough see the varieties of activities, ideas, and structures of each worship style. For the shorter videos, it is the best practice to watch the whole thing (such as, the Hinduism videos [4-6 minutes] or the Methodist Communion service [4 minutes]. Or, for the videos labeled as “guides” or “instructional videos,” you should watch the whole video. For the longer videos (that are whole services), watch the beginning, then you may skip forward to watch “blocks” at different points in the service (such as 10 minutes in the middle of the Baptist or Church of Christ video) to give you a sense of the whole service.For your original post, please address the following: Describe it in a neutral fashion. (Remember: Good research starts with an accurate description of an action, symbol, or idea.) Interpret it considering what the video says about its purpose. Or, if there is no narrator, then you should try to explain what you think its purpose is. (Remember: Interpretations rely on the Insider’s perspective on their own tradition or at least attempt to express the insider’s perspective in a fair way.) Explain why a religious person might do or believe it. (Remember: Explanations rely on an Outsider’s perspective and tend to be social scientific, such as “the practice … brings health, security, social unity, psychological clarity, closeness to God,” etc.)Please see the rubric for how your work will be assessed and the course schedule for the due date and time.
