Is sin the same

everywhere?
Do now
What is religion, and how
does religion influence
government?
What does taboo mean?
Anything proscribed
by society as improper
or unacceptable
For example: taboo
language or actions
are usually bleeped
out or skipped over on
television.
Can you give me
some examples of
some social taboos in
America?
Theocracy means
Theocracy is a form of government in which a deity
is officially recognized as the civil Ruler and official
policy is governed by officials regarded as divinely
guided, or is pursuant to the doctrine of a particular
religion or religious group.
So a non-theocratic government is???
Gooda government not ruled by a deity or church
Sothere is a reason for
all of this
Can you guess what the
reason is???
Its mini project time!!!
Group Project: You will work in your tables and create a poster
together.
Each poster must include the taboo that your group picked,
and the two countries, each at the top of one of two columns.
You may choose to provide a visual representation of the
taboo, in order to make the posters more visual.
Each group will conduct some type of research that addresses
the question: How is this taboo treated by law in the two
selected countries?
Each group should record their findings in the two different
columns.
After everyone has finished, each group will be asked to
present their two countries treatments of the specified taboo.
Any Questions???
Exit Slip:
What conclusions can be drawn by
comparing each pair of countries
treatments of the taboo?
