So far in our study of ancient civilizations we have encountered
Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. We have also
experienced Confucianism and Daoism as well as the varied beliefs of
Mesopotamia and Egypt. Regardless of who you are, where you live, or
when you live, there are family or cultural ideas that direct the
thoughts, actions, and deeds of a society.
Your task is to research the religion or ideals practiced by the people in your assigned country.
1. Start by finding your country on Geographical Distribution of Major World Religions (http://www.worldreligions.psu.edu/maps-introduction.htm).
2. Please note your

sure you visit URI Kids (http://www.uri.org/kids/world_hind.htm) and read about your country's religion.

Lastly, return to the blog and report your findings in one of our Write
