Two Wings, One Human Rights (1)
Many people dispute the influence of religion in schools. They may question if it should be included in their kids' annual courses as an obligatory or optional course, others are concerned about the way that professors teach a religion, and still others may inquire how often is the religion currently seen in the world. In the first journal “Religious Education and the Teaching about Religions” Zdenko Kodelja presents an informative text that recognizes how the religion is shown to the world. On the other hand: “Teaching Religion in Public Schools: Review Of Warren A.Nord, Does God Make a Difference?” Walter Feinberg is a review of Nord’s book
In both articles, the writers have an impressive background. One of them is Zdenko Kodelja a professor of Philosophy of Education at the Department of Philosophy with expertise in Educational Theory he was a senior researcher and head of the Centre for Philosophy of Education at the Educational Research Institute in Ljubljana. Similarly, the writers’ second text mentioned before is Walter Feinberg a Professor Emeritus of Education Policy with a P.H.D in Philosophy. In both cases can be seen two eminent people who have dedicated their life researching the same themes, philosophy, and religion; each one, balanced by different wings of freedom.
In the same way, Feinberg’s Journal is written for all people who are interested in how the education works in the United States, especially lawyers researching of how can they upgrade courses about religion when kids-children or basic education are involved in. On the other hand, Kodelja’s writing is addressed to a general public who wants to know about how the Religion works in schools located in some countries that educate one’s children based on the laws by the state. Kodelja explains the situation in France, Slovenia, USA, and others; while Feinberg's only focuses on the United States’ Constitution.
Moreover, the tone and diction made by Kodlja it is an objective view because he exposes different situation basing his arguments on the regulations, or rules that are being told by him. He also writes with comprehensive words reaching in this way more people that can read his text, he is not using technical words about Religious nor philosophy. Furthermore, he shows in an informative wording freedom in cultural or religious thoughts.
Consequently, the Feinberg’s passage is a summary text from one book of three by the Philosopher of Humanities Warren Nord; “Does God Make a Difference? Taking Religion Seriously in Our Schools and Universities.” He tries to call some attention in the society that Religion can’t be shouted because in this way would be opposition to it. He focuses his attention on how the state influences the religion in school to be taken as a course in children’s learnings.
Through “Religious Education and the Teaching about Religions” Kodelja claims one important reason that the Religion should be taught by the global population when he states “Understanding the history of political conflicts in the name of religion is essential” (255). Letting know to the people, that instead teach how one person born, should be important to let know the people how the religion in some time of the history brings wars. He states important facts on how the religion should bring useful tools in the society.
In the same way, Kodelja’s idea is to show three topics to include his last thought; the history of religions is a subject that has to be considered by the education regulations. He implicitly talks extensively about the respect that has to be present in some places when it comes the time of know a new people with a new religion. Moreover, he does not specify or influence any religions in his text. Instead, he develops an idea of the global education and reaches a peaceful ambient without prejudice having respect for each other.
