Each Other's Business

Eboo's article showed a very important point about religion. Religion can be very important for many people and it is a great deal of many people's life. However, even though there are differences in religious beliefs and even cultural aspects that are effected by religious beliefs, we should not forget that we are still part of a community. And as part of the community, we must build good bonds with each other, at the least not discriminate other people base on religious beliefs. Judging people base on religious beliefs can lead to many different negative result and we do not want negative things happening in a community where we live and have fun in. One of the most important things is that people will be misjudged because what they believed as a religious belief is not who they are but what they are. Basing judgements on what they are instead of who they are is very mean and will almost certainly lead to misjudgment. Secondly, judging people base on their religious beliefs is not getting to know them and people will fee insulted when judged only by their religious beliefs. Also, lastly, many people didn't choose to believe in certain religion but rather forced to or naturally adopted at birth through influence of family and or authority. Eboo wrote this article because he felt guilty during his high school life when he didn't disagree on religious discrimination. He felt really sorry when he didn't stand up for his jewish friend when he got bullied because he didn't think it was all that wrong. Eboo address two form of literary art, one being the Norman Rockwell painting and another being a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks. These two fine literary items very perfectly essence out the importance of not being bias about religion of different people.
