Cause and Effect of Religiosity on Life Satisfaction

Cause and Effect of Religiosity on Life Satisfaction The Cause and Effect of Religiosity on the Life Satisfaction and Psychological Wellbeing Rehmatullah Mirzaali Religiosity can be defined as â€Å"the term religiosity is derived from the word religion and it refers to numerous characteristics of religious behavior’s as well as fidelity and faith of an individual† (Khan, subhani Ara, June, 2013). This is while life satisfaction is usually explained as a critical process in which an individual assess the quality of their lives based on their own standard (shin Johnson, 1978). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the religion as a basic motivating force in the life of an individual that helps people to avoid the evil and practice decency which is directly associated with the mental health and physical status of the people (paragment hill, 2003). By looking in to today’s Islamic world we come across different criminalization, rape victims, injustice, honor killings, leading to a lot of negative outcomes involving depression, suicide, anxiety and other mortalities which is against the essence of Islam that teaches us pe ace and safety. Thus, in order to understand the true essence of Islam, which only gives us the message of peace, we must focus on some of the teachings of great theologian philosopher as Nasir khusraw who is well renowned and has major influence on the Ismaili Muslim communities of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. He has given some of the answer to some of the major issues of his time related to the religion and life satisfaction. In this paper, I am going to focus only on the Islam religion and its true essence and in the light of teachings of Nasir khusraw and its effect on mental health. I am very happy to start my paper mentioning what the Pakistan journal of psychology stated about the true essence of Islam. The journal explained that the result or the outcome of the research showed that out of religious involvement, influence and hope only religious influence had an impact on life satisfaction and it could have been different if the people were more focused on the true essence of Islam rather than the formalities and practices only. The journal further emphasized that people faith should be dependent on the questioning and logical reasoning to be strong in their faith and making them as a part of their true nature by incorporating them in the attitude and behavior which will make them more likely able to avoid things like jealousy, desire, pride, habitual greed and instead practice love, forgiveness, and respect towards others which shows the association between the mental and physical health. in order to understand some logical questioning and reasoning related t o the true essence of Islam we will look in to the logical reasons given by the an Ismaili poet and theoligist Nasir Khusrow to the people of its time so that they remain strong in their faith and can adhere to a sense of ultimate purpose and meaning even when life events are disturbing. Some group of people challenged Nasir khusrow (1998) that in order to believe in divine power and in ultimate purpose of God they questioned about the responsibility and freewill of the human being that â€Å"whether man is determined or free in what he does: If he is determined then God in which case, why does punishment become necessary? If he is free then can he do something which God does not like? Thus necessitating that he prevails over God?†( p.113). In reply of their query, Nasir khusrow said that this query was already asked from Imam Jafar al sadiq in his time in which he replied that â€Å"God is more just than to determine someone to disobey him and then punish him for it† (p.113). Then they asked him if the man is free to do what he wants? In reply he said that â€Å"Gods power is greater than ones transgressions in his kingdom† (p.113). In addition, they asked that what position does the man hold in this world, he said that man is in between the two positions in which he is neither determined nor free and farther he explained that the status of man is in between the animal and angel because mankind have both the carnal soul which is related to the physical especially sexual needs and activities as well as the angel soul which is related to the spiritual being. In case of the angel soul it cannot deliberately disobey and in case of animal soul it cannot deliberately obey because these two souls are already decided in their essence while mankind whose position is in between the two that’s why they are honored for being obedient and punished for being disobedience as in Quran, al mudathir, 74:38 it is mentioned that â€Å"every soul is held in pledge for its deeds†. Why mankind is entitled with the title of â€Å"Ashraf –ul makhluqat†? Because God has given mankind the insightful intellect which can differentiate the ugly from the fair and he has also blessed human beings with a sense of shame and humi lity which does not allow the mankind to act as animals do and we are not as free as animals due to the attribute of shame and modesty now as we know that man’s position is in between the two, the rational soul which is already determined in its nature to do good and the carnal soul which is free and not determined. So good and evil, wright and wrong is in our hand and there is no compulsion from God for the mankind in its religion because as we already mentioned that Islam is a religion of peace not of compulsion and force. As in Quran, Al Baqarah, 2:256† it is mentioned that â€Å"let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error; whoever rejects evil and believes in God has grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks. And God hears and knows all things†. Similarly, I remember that one of my teachers used to say about Hafiz shirazi a Persian poet, and I am quoting him, that: (The whole universe is summed up in the human bein g; devil is not a monster waiting to trap us. He is a voice inside. Look for your devil in yourself not in others. Don’t forget that the one, who knows his devil, knows his God). Further those doubters asked Nasir khusrow that â€Å"what’s the purpose of being here. What’s the cause of man’s indeterminate state between the animality and angelicity and what is the meaning of Iqab (punishment) and how should it be known, explain† (p.98). In reply Nasir khusrow replied that the reason why the mankind is indeterminate in its state is that their souls are uneducated and in order to gain knowledge they are given organs like eyes, hears, heart, and tongue by which knowledge can be attained and understood and internalizing it in their souls so that at last when souls leaves the body the soul must be able to return to his origin where soul was sent to cultivate knowledge so that the soul can find its way back to its origin. To make it more simple, Nasir khusrow further elaborated with an example of a landowner, farmer, farm and the agricultural instrument. He said that the universal soul is the land owner; farmer is the man; farm is the mat erial world; the instrument of the farm are your eyes, mouth, and other organs helping you in cultivating the seed; and, the seed is your intellect. Thus, you have to cultivate your intellect wisely in this world. The land owner has sent the farmer to the farm to cultivate the farm and not sit foolishly. The harness of the oxen is his body together with the animal soul. A wise sensible man would learn and acquire knowledge by using his instruments (organs) given to him as a gift in this world so that when he returns to the landowner he must have something to give back to the landowner as for the farmer and must please his landowner. Therefore we are all here for a purpose and we have to understand that before returning back to our origin we must gain and understand what we are sent for. Otherwise we will be failed in our mission. As God says to the ignorant and bad fortune people that â€Å"and indeed you have come to us alone as we created you at first and you have left behind wha t we bestowed on you†(6:95). So, if man does not use his instrument (organs) in this world according to the commands of God and his prophet he would remain puzzled and distressed when his soul leaves his body and there would be no any instrument to cultivate the intellect so he would be in agony as God says that â€Å"if you do good, you do good for your own selves and if you do evil, it’s against your own selves† (17:7). As for the word Iqab (punishment) it has already been discussed that whoever remains behind humanity the purpose of which is to be wise and act according to the commands of God and his prophet but instead chooses the carnal soul which is the animal soul and remains behind from reaching his origin that is his punishment being in the fire of ether. Now focusing on the act and commands of prophets we come to know that they lived very simply avoiding this world and evil practices instead focusing on their spirituality as Hazrat Ali bin abi talib son in law and cousin of the prophet who is described as the gate to city of knowledge by hazrat Muhammad (p.b.u.h) himself and who is the single most important intellectual authority in Islam according to the book justice and remembrance by Reza shah kazemi has quoted sayings of hazrat Ali that â€Å"By God this world of yours is more contemptible in my eyes than a chewed up bone of a pig in the hand of a leper†( p. 53). Further Hazrat Ali said that â€Å"the world is as worthless to me as that which drips from the nose of a goat† (p.53). keeping in mind that the causes which the holy prophets and a man who is known as the gate to the city of knowledge condemns this world and gives no importance why would its followers waste time on doing something against the teachings of their prophet and spiritual leaders. This is how Islam and its spiritual leaders has thought the people to follow instead of getting involved in crimes and other greedy things which leads to criminalization and further leads to a lot of unhealthy issues related to health as mentioned before that by chasing spiritual growth you are more likely to avoid evil doing and involve in behavior’s showing love, respect, compassion, and forgiveness which is directly associated with the mental and physical health status. However, in American sociological review by Durkheim (1951) and Simmel (1997) they have mentioned social dimension as the essence of religion because involvement in religious activities with the same minded people gives them a sense of friendship and social interaction to help each other. As all religions teach the same philosophy of compassion, love, and respect, therefore we can say that the effect of every religiosity would be the same. This is when people internalizes it in their behavior and lives it rather than showing, then the effect would definitely be stronger in mental health than physical health as Koenig (2012) explained that the relationship between the religiosity and mental health is stronger than physical health because it encompasses psychological, social and behavioral aspect which is related to the mental health. Furthermore, Ahmed M Abdel Khalek (2013) after doing his research he concluded that, there is a possibility of treating anxiety depression in Muslim clients using the psychotherapeutic religious involvement, because religion has high importance in the society. As we saw when we visited the Karachi psychiatric hospital they also used this religious involvement method to help patients of drug addicts. Concluding this paper, again I remember one of my teachers mentioned this and I quote that â€Å"your soul is the king of your body, your mind the scribe, your intellect the vizier (Divan, 91:15; Ruby of badakshan, 214).that your intellect controls your soul and your soul controls your body but the intellect is developed through knowledge. We must control our mind to have a control in our lives and we must internalize the knowledge in our nature to be free of desires and evils which has direct relation with mental health. it is clear from above teachings that Islam is a complete way of life which leads our lives in a healthy and prosperous way if we tend to act according to the teachings of Islam and and its holy prophets . Similarly, every religion has its significant impact on the mental health of its people in a positive way because they all teach peace and prosperity. References KHUSRAW, N. (1998).

Broken Windows Concept

The administrative and operational consideration of the Broken Windows Theory affects many aspects of the police department and the community. The social disorder of a run-down community can be looked at by a single broken window. The idea affects not only the community but the police force as well. Mayors, politicians, police chiefs, and other administrators want their city to look and feel safe. When small time crime invades the community, it can turn into a bigger crime and the fall of the city. The theory was experimented with in many cities with positive and negative results.Police patrol, emergency and critical incident response, police investigations, and future trends were affected in many communities. Implementations of new laws as well as enforcing existing small time crime laws have had big effects on many cities. The Broken Windows Theory George E. Keeling co-wrote an article for the Atlantic Monthly in March, 1982 about the theory about social disorder, and the informal social controls can reduce rebellious behavior, such as vandalism (Keeling, 1982). Small crimes such as public drinking, littering, prostitution, pan-handling, and loitering are targeting in the article.The concept is mainly targeted at low-income cities that increased social disorder and low opinions about police presence and arrests. The concept is that disorder and crime are linked in a developmental sequence. The theory explains that one broken window left unimpaired will solicit other broken windows, and progressively lower the community standards. If that same window is repaired, such as in a beautification program, then crime will be reduced. Also, in an experiment in New Jersey, police began policing on foot instead of cars.The idea was a more personal presence in the city. If criminals saw more police presence they may go elsewhere to commit a crime, and the public would be more inclined to help police in criminal investigations. The testing of the theory involved the coope ration of police agencies, as well as case studies. The police agencies did not like the foot patrol idea because foot patrol was deemed a punishment for officers, and they could not respond to crime as fast as with a patrol car. After five years, the testing was analyzed, and it was discovered that crime was not reduced.After talking with the public, the public seemed to think that crime was reduced, and they felt more secure ND safe in the neighborhood. The theory proved ineffective on lowering crime, but the public praised the police for doing so anyways. The unwritten concept that smaller crimes will lead to bigger crimes could not be proven, but other theories conclude that the Broken Theory is not accurate. Functions of Patrol, Crime Investigation, Emergency and Critical Incident Response Place police officers on foot patrol used to be a punishment, but in the experiment it had an alternative motive.Administrative and operation considerations were evaluated after placing polic e on assassinated foot patrols. Patrol officers on foot had positive and bad negative. The positive outcomes were the intimate relations ship the police acquired with the public. The public got used to a police officer coming into the shops and greeted them informally, compared to Just driving by and only reporting after a crime was committed. The foot patrol officers made a pleasant presence I the community that made the public believe crime was reduced.The negative outcomes with foot patrols were the delayed response to calls and lack of contact with the department. The name was true with emergency and critical incident response (AN, 2012). Criminal investigations seemed to be easier with the public cooperation. Police conduction foot patrols would have an intimate relationship with the public that would aid in criminal investigations. Since crime was not reduced, it was concluded that criminals figured out where police would be and the delayed response time to crime.The connectio n between the criminal, the community, and the police have improved over the years. Future Trends Many cities have tried to explore the Broken Widows Theory into the community over he years. William Britton of New Work's Transit Police by having police enforces petty crime laws and arrest transients, vandals, panhandlers, and fair Jumpers. Rudy Giuliani worked with Britton years later and implemented the Broken Windows Theory and crime was reduced by 65 percent in the mid-ass (Sham, 2007).The theory has been modified for police and the administration with Stop and Frisk Laws and other privacy violation laws. This means that even though the theory was intended to beautify communities and become more community oriented in policing, it went in there directions. Words like community-policing and zero tolerance has the roots of the Broken Windows Theory, but the future may hold more serious punishment for smaller crimes and more police presence in low-income communities.The primary theor y was that if there is one broken window in building, youths, or vandals will break other windows, whereas a building with no broken windows would not receive the attention the latter would. Administrations and operational considerations have improved the idea, and in the future, reconstruct how crime is dealt with and how Alice can protect and serve the community better. Summary The Broken Windows Theory was presented by James Q. Wilson and George L. Keeling in an Atlantic Monthly article.The idea was that crime could be managed with beautification and community assistance. Many experiments proved that crime was not reduced, but the community believed it was because of the police presence. The community also helped the police more who were on foot patrol because of the intimate contact between police and the public. Many mayors and police administrations have tried to use this theory and have had success by not only arresting small time criminals, but finding that many of those cri minals had warrants for larger crimes.

There Are No Children Here By Kotlowitz Essay - 1236 Words

In There Are No Children Here, Kotlowitz describes the experiences of Pharoah and Lafayette to highlight the racist and classist undertones existing within the criminal justice system of Chicago in the late 1980s. This essay will utilize the theory of critical criminology to illustrate the structures of inequality within the criminal justice system and the subsequent marginalization of youth that exists within the Henry Horner community, leading to youth deviance and violent crime. Beginning with a brief outline of the major characteristics of critical theory, the essay will then address the increasing focus on gang involvement as an explanation for inner-city youth crime, using examples from the Disciples and Vice Lord gangs, and how that focus demonstrates the bias and inequality within the criminal justice system. Next, the necessity of the Henry Horner community creating a system of â€Å"self-help† will be analyzed, a result of the perceived inadequacy of the criminal jus tice system in addressing the problems that the community faces. The theory of critical criminology demonstrates how structures of inequality are represented in the criminal justice system: the incessant focus on gangs and inadequacy of the system to provide protection causes the marginalization of youth like Pharoah and Lafayette, reinforcing instances of youth deviance and crime.

Define And Explain What Is A Disability - 1758 Words

1. Define and explain what is a disability? According to Foreman and Arthur-Kelly (2014) a disability is defined as â€Å"the functional consequence of an impairment†. The disability services of Western Australia outline the main categories of disabilities identified. Physical disorders relate to the musculoskeletal, circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems. These are more commonly recognised as arthritis, multiple sclerosis and spinal injury, respectively. Sensory disabilities involve impairments to one’s sensory abilities such as sight or hearing. Neurological and cognitive disability defines a disability that has been acquired, such as a traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease or paralysis from medical error. Intellectual†¦show more content†¦Approximately one-third of students diagnosed ADHD are suspected of having another learning difficulties, which therefore leads to these children displaying a more aggressive attitude than their peers (Connor, 2002). This aggressive attitude ca n be stemmed from self-doubt and anger related to lack of success. Tannock (2007) outlines that limitation in working-memory processes can lead to cognitive over load, therefore influencing disruptive behaviour. Attention deficiencies result in a lack of working memory, therefore, leading to hyperactivity and disruptions from the child. The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) in collaboration with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has developed guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. The critical question in which an educator needs to address is whether ADHD should be classified as a special need and interfering with the student’s learning, this needs to be done as in some cases ADHD does not interfere with a students learning.

Question: Discuss about the Conducting Research Literature Reviews. Answer: Introduction: The Chinese consumers are intended to change their brands while buying sports shoes and cell phones from domestic to international. The study intends to discover the impact and reasons of the decision-making style behind changing the brands for the Chinese. Some of the important questions have been answered in the research paper, which includes without the price consideration; would customers change from their current brands? In addition, how does the decision-making style influence the intention o switch? Moreover, are there any demographic factors that have influenced the intention to switch? The research is important as to investigate the customers attitude towards changing the brands and reasons for the decision-making on that change. The research has been done by analyzing the university students decision-making styles while purchasing sport shoes and cell phone. The process of the research has been done by surveying 628 undergraduate students in Guangdong, China by electronic transmission and distribution of the questionnaires. Some of the questions of the survey are the name of the current brand for cell phone and shoes, the name of the brands of sports shoes and cell phone if the economic condition is permissible. The strength of the research process is that it has conducted the research by means of the electronic medium, which means that the researcher has mailed the survey paper to the student. It is the cost-effective method as charges could be measured against the print of the survey paper, sending and returning the survey through postage. The weaknesses of the research process is that the survey is limited within the under graduate students of Guangdong, China. The research topic is based on the chinas consumers; however, limiting the Chinese consumers within a particular group of the graduate students could have limited the research. Evaluation of Literature Review The literature review has been conducted based on the three factors such as Chinese consumers perception for domestic and international brands, the switching intention and the decision-making styles. The literature review and its subdivision are important for the research as it provides current understanding of the research theme and its importance to the practice. It is also helpful to identify the methods used in the previous research on similar topic, which would help to comparison the research findings (Fink 2013). The literature review of Chinese consumers perspective of domestic and international brands explore the reasons for shifting tendency towards foreign brands. The investigation shows that the brand choice varies according to the developed and developing countries. The consumers believe that the products from the less-developed countries share the degrading quality of the product and poor performance, which leads to consumers dissatisfaction. However, as the Chinese consumers are becoming more diverse and sophisticated, they do not support the foreign brand and lower price with the improved quality makes the Chinese brand more competitive in the market. The strength of the literature review is that it has shown all the possible researches influencing the decision-making choice of the Chinese to select international brand than the local while purchasing sport shoes and cell phones (Galvan and Galvan 2017). The chosen three factors have been selected methodically, which would help in deciding the current truth of the issue. The weaknesses of the literature review is that the literature review did not focus on the marketing strategies of the local and international brand as marketing strategies could be one of the influential factor that creates impact of switching the brand. This is the limitation of the literature review, which has created barrier on further opportunities to study. The researcher needs to look at the limitation as one of the research studies could be based on this. However, the Marketing strategies of the local and international brand could open another dimension to the research. Evaluation of the Data Analysis Strategy One of the important data analysis strategies is creating demographic table for analyzing the percentage of male and female, the education level of the male and the female and their monthly income. The data analysis has been conducted based on few questions; they are the brand name for current cell phone and sport shoes and the name of the brand of the cell phone and sport shoes if the economic condition is permissible. The data analysis has been done based on the respondents identification of the local and foreign brands in China. To analysis of the purchase reasons, it is important tool to answer of the question, what is your first consideration when buying cell phones and sports shoes? The data analysis strategic process has been done by considering the survey report of the 628 graduate students. However, the final survey report has been prepared rejecting the incomplete questionnaires. Ultimately, 584 questionnaires were collected. One of the important factors of the data analysis process is that the answers were ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Based on the collected data and considering the list of possible answers percentage of cell phone and sport shoes among the Chinese consumers has been analyzed. The strength of the data analysis strategies are it has considered all the important factors and possible criteria for the research and from this, an important data about the cell phone and sport shoes users has been gathered (Kratochwill 2013). The weakness of the data analysis process is the research paper did not show any quantitative and qualitative message of the data analysis. The single variables in time-series, ranking, deviations are not mentioned and were not considered by the researcher.

However, as the language is clear and the research paper is well presented, the communication with the paper is well established in the research paper. The strength of the communication, presentation and language is that it would be helpful for academic communication through the research paper. The reader or audience is an important factor to understand the importance of the communication. However, the communication, presentation and language create important factors for overall research paper. The weakness of the language, presentation and communication is that the future prospectus of the study has not been mentioned. The time horizon has not also been mentioned in the research paper.
