Option B: Social Groups

A social group that I would consider my self part of is a ministry. I was bought up as a young teenager, up under the teachings of a nondenominational church. I was taught from childhood the believe and understanding of how religion should be applied in our everyday life. Until my maturity came about in religion, that was the turning point of my religion. I utilized the true meaning of religion. Religion is the belief in worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

Even within the ministry we where taught holiness but, individuals proceeded sometimes with self actions and not the elements of the religion. One of the major elements that is major within the social group was marriage.

    ...cult. When my father lost his job, our family lost many of the comforts that we once took for granted due to a reduced income. Money became a very large issue and with it came many limitations on wants and desires that were so accessible before my father had lost his job. Furthermore, the loss of his job brought about immense shame for my father. Yet, rather than become embarrassed over my father losing his job and sad due to the fact that I could no longer have as many material possessions, I came to accept the different lifestyle. By letting go and accepting, room was made for new experiences, joys, understandings, and lessons. For instance, I now appreciate things that I took for granted in the past and realize the lack of necessity for materialistic objects and desires and I feel that as a result, I have become a more appreciative human being as a whole.

  • Conformity In Jerry Bridges's The Pursuit Of Holiness

    1106 Words  | 3 Pages

    In The Pursuit of Holiness, the author, Jerry Bridges, shows the Christian what it looks like to be truly holy. Holiness is to live a life of conformity to God’s will. Holiness is a joint effort between God and his people, it is not something God just gives us when we accept Him into our lives. Many times Christians neglect the responsibility we have of moving towards God and pursuing holiness. Holiness is not something that is fully attainable, it is a constant pursuit to be like God.

    When people announce they are entering a monastery or convent, they are often met with reactions of awe and admiration. Although this decision entails long arduous devotion, it is assumed that this man or woman has made a sound decision. Many are under the impression that a life lived to solely serve God will ultimately bring out the best version of oneself. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Although it is difficult to admit there occasionally is a better alternative than wholly serving God, some personalities are better fitted for other avenues of life. In fact, it can be detrimental to be a part of this lifestyle if one’s personality is so poorly suited for it. The rigid discipline of holy orders can impede natural growth,

Some of dynamics that continue to emerge and develop in my group is the effective interaction patterns and strong group cohesion, which has generated positive outcomes and group achievement thus far.

  • Religion Stifles Creativity, Self-expression and Individual Freedom

    Although there are many religions, each is essentially its own group. Society willingly utilizes labels such as Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, and etc. to represent its many religious groups as well as to identify the members within the group. Religious group membership is the beginning stage of conformity. The term “group” alludes to the commonalities; the shared likes and dislikes of a religious group. In the religious sense, the members’ beliefs and convictions are the core of the group; however, the mere aspect of grouping shuns individuality by embracing common beliefs over individual beliefs. In David G. Myers’ “Ingroup and Outgroup,” he makes the point that “In short, it appears that people’s attitudes are formed partly as mirrored images of s...

  • What Is The Difference Between Primary Groups And Secondary Groups?

    837 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sociology describes many types of social groups, and each group is viewed differently. The first group is a primary group member that has a personal relationship with each other or face-to-face interaction. Secondary groups are the complete opposite of primary groups because they involve little to no knowledge of each other. Secondary groups also tend to have an impersonal relationship. In-group are what society use to help identify themselves. The out-groups are more of a minority in society, which are people who are different and don’t have the same interests as the in-groups. All of the social groups have a distinction between one another.

    In today's world, there are many different ways to get involved in religion; various methods have attracted groups of all ages and races. One popular association is FCA or Fellowship of Christian Athletes. This particular group has helped me to find Christ in my own life. There are a lot of unconventional activities to help the younger generations get involved. Some of these activities included Death Week, which focused on death and pain, meetings about family and divorce, lectures to help people reach for their goals, and encouragement speakers. There is a great deal of fun incorporated into all the seriousness, though. We went on ski trips, did missionary work, and put on skits. All of these activities involved Christ in some way, and helped the younger generation to realize that being spiritual was not 'uncool.'; When I attended the FCA meetings, it was the one time that I actually felt free from all my problems. FCA helped me to find my spiritual self and gave me a sense of completion.
