How does Hindu plurality and diversity of views and practices benefit the Indian subcontinent
For this Unit, I have arranged you in 4 member groups to help you get to know one another. As we normally would in a classroom setting, small groups allow deeper conversation and comfort to ask hard questions without it turning into an awkward debate or creating silences. Take advantage of these discussions. It will improve your perspective and your score on the next Unit Reflection on Indian Religions.
This week, we focus on Chapter 4 as well as Canvas resources I provide to help students who may not have textbook access. Everyone will have something to contribute after reading, viewing and considering one another’s points of view.
Keep the Five Points of Inquiry in mind as you read and discuss our textbooks. Healthy discussion is a discourse, which means you should communicate and reply to one another. See the Discussion Board Sample and Netiquette listed in the Class Policies page as you discuss our online readings.
In this discussion, consider questions about relationships between these Indian Religions as well as the usual Five Points:
How does Hindu plurality and diversity of views and practices benefit the Indian subcontinent?
How are Hindu perspectives of Ultimate Reality new or different from previous religions we’ve discussed?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of having so many deities and Scriptures?
How does Hinduism challenge commonly held American religious perspectives?
