When thinking of my research topic for On Democracy, I was really stuck. Then I recalled how many times religion came up in class. Therefore, I decided to do a compare and contrast paper on two religions: Buddhism and Christianity. I grew up with Buddhism, but wasn't very serious about it and don't know much about it either. I also don't know much about Christianity or the word "religion" in general, so this paper will be a good learning experience for me as well.
I do know that they are two very different religions. Christians believe in God and he is the one everyone worships. Buddhism is more about being self-reliant, doing good things, and putting others before yourself. I'm sure there is a lot more to it, and I may be even wrong with what I just said. However, I'm sure that the Buddhist ways that I have learned have probably made me a better person. I will hopefully be able to learn much more about both of these religions and write a good essay.
