WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE MAJOR RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD

In my opinion, major religion in the world is christian . 

why I can think that religion is the major in the world ???? because I know that in Europe, America and Australia, majority people in that island is christian ( christian and chatolic). I'm christian, and I only know a few about chatolic.
In my religion, we have 2 days celebration, Christmas and Easter.

Christmas is the day when Jesus Christ was born in this world, and we always celebrate that day very glorious. When the Christmas come, we must prepare ourselves and prepare our house, hhe .. we always set Christmas tree and decorate that with accessories and cute lamp. and we always say : HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOD ^.^

children usually hope that santa claus will come. santa claus is old man, have a distended abdomen, long white beard, always use red clothes, have a big sack to bring a lot of gift, and usually come with cart where the deers driving that cart. santa claus come to give a gift for children,hhi

Easter is the day when Jesus rosed from the grave. trhee days before that day is Great Friday. Great Friday is the day when Jesus gave his live to atoned for man's sin.






when this day is come, we always see the children decorate their easter egg, is called tradition..













I will try describe about chatolic :)
christian and catholic don;t have significant different, but usually other people know when people pray,hhe ..
christian just close our eyes, but chatolic always make a cross sign before they pray
I think, in Europe chatolic more dominant than christian, because in Vatikan in Europe.
Do you know abaout Vatikan ????? Vatikan is small city in Rome, Italy
in Vatikan, the Father (paus paulus) lead diocese in the world

STEREOTYPES

A stereotype is a popular belief about specific social groups or types of individuals. The concepts of "stereotype" and "prejudice" are often confused with many other different meanings. Stereotypes are standardized and simplified conceptions of groups based on some prior assumptions. (http://en.wikipedia.org) 


We have question about stereotype :

why do people usually think positively about themselves but negatively about others? what can you do to get a better understanding of what other people are really like ?

yappppp ,,,, people usually think positively about themselves, because they can't see clearly about their weaknesses. They want another people can see their capabilities or strengths, and try to hide their weaknesses, they feel that theirselves are better than other people. But, if they met with another people, they usually think negatively about others. They always compare themselves with others, and the simple ways to describe that, they usually try to find weaknesses of another people first, without see capabilities of others. They do it, because they are know if theirselves different with another people.


how can we do to get better understanding about that ??

1. we must try to positive thinking about others, we have more differences with other if that the first time we meet, don't try to find their weaknesses, but try to find their capabilities. like a simple words

don't judge a book by it's cover

2.  try to behave friendly, and make ourselves comfort in that situation
