Describe in a brief paragraph one of the seven major religions in the world and how it can exist in our United States culture. Is secularization (the different forms of religion in our culture) of religion a good or dysfunctional part of our overall culture today?

Hinduism is one of the most ancient religions in the world. The religion is enriched with the best possible spiritual facets and reflects the ideal ways to live this very life.

Hinduism has spread fascinating and crucial aspects like four "Vedas" (Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samveda, Atharv Veda), four ashrams/ stages of life (Brahmacharyashram, Grihastashram, Vanprathashram and Sanysashram which mean studenthood, family/ social life, retirement and getting detached from the materialistic life).

In the United States, numerous people work in the Software industry who are from India and on other hand, organizations like Ramkrishna Math, Akshardham and ISKON have cultivated human beings for holistic development.

The principle of "Adwaita" (Oneness) is the backbone of Hinduism which can be found being practiced by a good number of Americans. Yoga, meditation, and Namasmaran (chanting) are other ways that have their roots in Hinduism and have blossomed the life of the native Americans too.

Secularisation of religion is fine until it does not alter and violate the essence and identity of a specific religion. But if the secularisation attempt disturbs the rhythm of religion, it should be avoided.

every society, in order to meet the needs of it's people, has to answer three basic questions:

- what should we produce?

- how should we produce it?

- for whom should we produce it?

this questions must be answered in order to, option b, aid in production decisions.

every country can't produce everything, no matter how rich their land is. it may be a matter of technology, resources or geographical conditions. so, these three questions must be resolved in order to get the most of the production of each land.

hope this !
