Religion as a source of morality

The core moral base of Judaism is: Justice and individual liberty. This is based on the good of the community and it arises from and is based on the Torah.
The core moral base of Christianity is:the 10 commandments, based on the bible.
The core moral base of Islam is: acts of love and justice and legalistic preformances. This is based on the Koran.
the core moral teachings of Buddhism are: the five precepts (do not kill, do not steal, do not have illicit sex, no wrong speech, and do not drink or do drugs.) This is based on Thervada and Mahayana teachings.
the core moral teachings of Hinduism are: Spiritual development and renouncing the fruits of your labors. Comes from the vedas and Upanishads.
the concepts of morality in these religions have implications for a life after death, such as in Judaism where if you follow this moral code the punishment or the reward is recieved in life, not much focus in put on life after death, the emphasis is on the present moment. In Christianity there is heaven which is a paradise that rewards you for not sinning, whilst if you do sin you are condemned and go to hell. In islam the deeds done in life are beared on the spirit after death where the spirit must suffer for the wrong deeds and be rewarded for the good deeds. In Buddhism the ideal is to achieve nirvana, until then reincarnation will take place. Meanwhile in Hinduism the ideal is to stop reincarnating to become a part of the whole of existence.
All of this is based on faith.

Eating meat

b. due to advancements in technology and medicine it has been possible to raise people's life expectancies and has caused our human population to increase to 7 billion. For thousands of years mankind has hunted as a way to survive, specifically in areas where crops have more difficulty in growing. Nevertheless hunting and large scale animal farming is not enough to supply the global demand for meat. Consequently meat has become a large product of production for large industries. It is a well known fact that all industries seek a large and increasing profit. To comply with these demands from both industry and consumers the global market has resorted to using cruel and inhumane methods to raise meat. The main meat that is consumed globally is chicken, beef, pork, and fish. To begin with let me just state that although we as humans believe we own everything, even our life partners, we do NOT own animals, they do not belong to us to chew up. Their life is in their hands, not ours. These animals are confined to extreamly tight spaces that are filthy and do not resemble in the slightest bit their natural green, sunfilled, rainfilled, beautyfilled enviornment. Needless to say these animals in factory farms do not experience the reality of life, a natural life, where they get to be born, raised, excersise, and reproduce to their will, and survival is their main task to keep them going. Besides cramming many animals are fed genetically modified crops or given drugs which have a cheaper quality and less nutrients that are actually needed for a healthy life. If their food is not modified then their genetics are modified to speed up their growth process so that production can increase at a faster rate. This can lead to several mutations and deficits in their bodies that can leave them crippled or with organ failures. Their veterinary care is poor and most animals are just left to suffer the consequences of their illness. Their slaughter involves cruel methods that no human would ever think ethically correct if done on humans. Clearly living under these conditions makes these animals stressed. When you eat meat you are also consuming all of their stress, therfore you aswell are introducing negative energy into your body which affects how you preform in your everyday life. The water and land used for the crops to keep these animals alive also constributes greatly to deforestation and a waste of resources therfore causing enviornmental damage. If you live in an area where vegetables and fruits grow, why eat meat? Why kill another animal for the sake of a taste in your diet? Would you eat your child? no. so why on earth would you eat a cow? just because a cow does not look like you doesnt mean a cow is not just as worthy. -.-

To what extent is knowledge gained in Mathematics similar and/or different to knowledge gained in History?

In history you have to memorize dates and events tie them together, make sense of a story line. in math you do the same you memorize forumales, you tie them together, and you make sense of them to form a solution :)

Is mathematics discovered or invented?

Personally i believe its both, one cannot exist without the other, both need to coexist to exist individually. Math is an invention due to the fact that it's symbols, formulaes, and perfect ideals that do not need to exist in our physical space came out from human minds for people to interpret the math. A person can invent a lie and through inventing that lie that person has discovered its existence. The same rule applies to math. Math in theory exists in nature, it can be applied to simply counting the rings inside of a tree trunk to figure out its age, to figureing out the formulae that shapes the reasoning behind gravity or electricity. A concept can exist even though noone has thought of it ...it is also equally invented as it is discovered once it is invented. Just as words are sounds given to the life around us for us to understand it math stands under the same principle. right? yeahhh its ok, today is a lovely day its a bit chilly and wonderful, but aaaaaahh theres a field trip and weve got 3 weeks left !!!! *insert f bomb here~!*

TOK K.I.'S hissssssssssss story

To what extent does history reflect our modern day reasoning?
To what extent is photography a more reliable source than a written document?
To what extent does a reliable source depend on objectivity?
