Muslims
Despite the Muslim religion being one of the most widespread religions in the world, it has faced major microaggressions since it was founded. Consequently, religion has been outrageously connected with the Jihadist groups and rebels across the world. These microaggressions have posed a major setback to the progress of this religion. The idea that religion is associated with terrorism across the globe has impacted the lives of many young people in a great way. The majority has lost their lives for purportedly being associated with acts of Terrorism.
Jews
Jews are dated back during the time of the Teachings of Jesus Christ and his disciples. Since then, religion has suffered major microaggressions. For instance, in Germany, during the era of Adolf Hitler, Jews suffered a lifelong persecution experience. Jews were massacred for unjustified reasons. Despite the religion being among the most widespread religions, these aggressions impacted negatively on young people and were a major blow towards the progress of the religion.
Sikhs
Sikh religion was founded around 1500AD by an Indian known as Guru Nanak. Despite the religion being the least spread religion, it has also suffered microaggressions. The believers and followers of this religion have for long been regarded as idol worshippers. These accusations have impacted negatively on the lives of young believers in this religion. Others have faced life-threatening circumstances in different parts of the world for the same accusations.
- The Five Major Religions
- Hinduism is the oldest religion since its roots are dated back to more than 4000 years. The second religion in terms of when missionaries and pilgrims began to feature is Judaism which is dated back to 1800BC, Christianity follows as it is dated around 2000 years. Consequently, according to the animations Islamic religion follows in the list being dated around 600 years. However, Sikhism is the youngest religion in the world since it was founded by an Indian known as Guru Nanak around 1500AD; this makes it the youngest religion.
- According to the projections made by the animation, Christianity, Islamic and Hinduism are the most widespread religions across the world having roots in every continent, country and regions across the world. The spread is attributed to the time they have existed as well as the initial work of missionaries. However, Judaism and Sikhism are the least spread as shown by the animation; this low spread in Sikhism is attributed to the short time of existence while Judaism lacked a strong initial propagation.
- As shown by the animation, as the world continues to grow in terms of modernity, religions are evolving at the same or a higher rate. Judaism stretches back during the time of Abraham and has since spread into several countries across the world while Christianity stretches back to the teachings of Jesus and his disciples and is spread in almost all countries globally. The reason behind the spread of these religions is through the initial as well as ongoing crusades with each religion trying to develop and strengthen its roots in each continent across the globe.

Teachers need to invest in ‘connection’ and by this connection; effectiveness in learning can easily be achieved.
Complexity; the teacher identified that sustaining complexity in a classroom was not an easy task. It calls for absolute devotion and sacrifice from the teacher and the learners as well. She also realized that complexity was the key for individual achievement in a classroom.
Reflection: the Teacher identified that the kids appeared to reflect more on what was appealing and good to them.

This is the only way collective progress can be made in a classroom.
