The Meaning of Angels and Demons Throughout Different Cultures
During the process of finding a topic about what I want to research for this project, a multitude of things came across my mind. I was looking at the physical green sheet of paper we were given for this project and decided to take a gander at some of the recent and/or possible topics. The thing that had caught my attention the most was the role of angels and demons in various cultures. The first thing that came to my mind was a cartoon, such as Tom and Jerry, and there being a devil and angel on each shoulder of one of the characters. I'm genuinely interested in knowing the deeper meaning to each angels and demons, especially when it pertains to multiple cultures, as anything can mean anything, anywhere. I have a lot of simple and kind of weird questions pertaining to this topic and I know close to nothing about religion in general, so I'm excited to do some research. I'm not sure where I'll research or what resources I'll use yet obviously, but I hope during the researching process that my questions will be answered and I'll learn more about religion and culture.

This is such a cool idea! I think that you'll be able to find some really cool information, from sources like the Bible but also from other cultures and religions. It would be interesting to look at this from a moral/ethical standpoint, as a Good vs Evil kind of thing. You seem really interested in this topic, and I think that you'll find a lot of interesting information. I'm excited to see where you go with this!!
ReplyDeleteI like this idea for your paper. I think we always tend to overlook such creatures in our society because we have seen them from such a young age(like in Tom and Jerry) but I would also be curious to know their significance in other cultures. I wonder how they would compare to to image of angles and devils in our culture. I think you'll be able to get a taste of other cultures and their beliefs and religion while you're researching this topic so that will be beneficial and interesting too! Good idea !
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting topic, I would have never thought to write about something like this. Angles and demons are such vital roles in many religions that finding the key points between them would show a lot about each religion. It would also show some major differences between their beliefs as well. I am excited to see where you will go with this topic!
