Definition and meaning of Religious & Philosophical Ideas and Cultures

Religious & Philosophical Ideas and Cultures

To believe means to accept the truth or actuality of something. When people believe in a number of related truths or tenets, the body of knowledge is a belief system. These beliefs come from and are affected by religious and philosophical ideas, and are difficult to change. Belief systems also prescribe appropriate behavior in a society, regulating such social behavior as dating and marriage customs and the role of women. Other belief systems regulate attitudes toward government and authority. Belief systems affect how groups of people view and use the environment. Some people believe that humans have dominion over nature (Maoris of New Zealand, most adherents of Judeo-Christian religions). Humans, they believe, are not part of nature but separate. Further, they believe that Earth was given to humans by God for their use. Other groups (Hindus, Buddhists, Confucianists) see people as part of, and at harmony with, nature.
