Is Religion Good or Bad?

 Apia focuses on broadening its perspective and understanding of religion, emphasizing its complexity and duality. He discusses the influence of religion in various aspects such as society, morality, and politics. He also talks about what social functions and roles religion plays, and how it affects the formation of individuals and groups' identity. It addresses the diversity and change of religion and emphasizes the importance of respecting and understanding the diversity of religious beliefs and practices.

What I felt when I saw this video is that religion is hard to divide simply into good or bad things. I understand that religion can provide people with a sense of stability and meaning, and contribute to social convergence and the formation of moral values, but at the same time can also be a source of prejudice and conflict.

While recognizing that religion plays an important role in shaping people's identity and value systems, it has also been found that situations can occur that use it to justify hatred and discrimination or cause violence. We have therefore come to the conclusion that efforts must be made to understand the complexity of religion, respect different beliefs and practices, and promote religious freedom and mutual understanding.

This tedtalk mentions about architecture kind of being a way to bring communties or families together by architecture. By this, everyone can get what they want, a place to be comfortable and suits their needs. This is important in a way to maintain societies neutral, since there are no "must do" when it comes to individuality. Let's think of houses as a self-expression or identity. People want to express and embrace themselves, that's why art was made for, to express visually what's within. I think societies could engage more if architecture was more suitable for each one of us. Some countries do implement this type of self-architecture. Believe it or not, in Latin America people design most of things by their own and have their spaces that match with them so they feel more comfortable.
