HHS 320 Ashford University Week 4 Religion and Spirituality Paper

Watch the video, East vs. West- The Myths that Mystify (Links to an external site.) by Devdutt Pattanaik. Define and discuss the terms “religion” and “spirituality,” reflecting on the video and readings. Consider the following statements from your text (Schmidt, 2019, p. 147) and summarize what they mean to you:

• Jonathan Swift: “We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.”
• Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule.”

Evaluate the difficulties that may surface as a result of having a different belief system than your clients and share your reflections on this topic in 250-300 words.
