Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
In this assignment, students will seek out a piece of religious research conducted by a research institute. They will critically analyze the research, examining how well the research questions apply to religions in general and to Confucianism specifically.
Search online for some polling or demographic information about religious affiliation and/or practice (for example, you might look at the Pew Research Center website’s religion research). Choose one specific report or poll to summarize and analyze.
You should briefly describe the content of the report:
What questions did they ask?
How many people did they poll?
What answers did they get?
Then you should analyze the research:
What information could the researchers obtain by asking these questions?
What information would they not be able to obtain?
Are certain kinds of religion left out or disadvantaged by the questions asked here?
How well do these research questions apply to specific religions that you know about, especially Confucianism?
Submit your assignment as a Word document, 200-250 words. Include the title, author, and URL of the article.
