Day 25 - Clicker Quiz
Today in WHAP we finished our discussion on Daosim, took our clicker quiz, and talked about Hinduism.
First, we finished what we were talking about yesterday, mainly covering the same points that I covered in the last blog, so if you need a refresher check that out. Then, as is the routine, we got into our table teams and started to review. Once again, Emilio asked a question that ended up being on the clicker quiz, so I was prepared for that question once it came around. I'm starting to like this table teams better and better each day. After reviewing, Mr. Profitt did not answer our table's questions at the end like usual*, and we retrieved our clickers.
Then, we started the clicker quiz. It was one of the more difficult as clicker quizzes go, but I ended up with a respectable score. Unfortunately, I don't think we got the bonus today. We have another clicker quiz on Friday over the Christianity CC, so be prepared for that.
Moving on from this, we started to talk about Hinduism. First of all, the name Hinduism was a name made up by English scholars. Hinduism evolved out of mysticism and literature and had no particular religious figure, or a "Master Plan." Really, it's compatable with nearly any religion because whether you worship one or multiple gods, as long as it helps you to get to the same place then you're cool with them.
The original scripture for Hinduism were the Vedas, which in the words of Mr. Profitt were giant "cookbooks" of spells. They were written down in no real order, but simply as a way to have a written record of their traditions. After this the Upanishads were created, essentially as a readable tradition for the normal member of society. These books were translated from the Vedas, which was a tedious and time-consuming task that only the Brahmans had time for, which is a reason they were elevate in society like they were.
After this, the bell rang and we were dismissed. Be prepared for the clicker quick tomorrow, and maybe try to get ahead on some reading :) Until tomorrow!
