KW Exercise 11.4

1.Do you agree with this opinion?

If its the one made by the courts then yes. “The government may not coerce anyone to support or participate in religion or its exercise or otherwise act in a way that establishes a state religion or religious faith or tends to do so.” It is better off to stay on the opposite end or neutral side to show that government will follow the principles laid by the law of the land.

2. To put it plainly, a Symbolic Interactionist would say that the prayers said before each
class and in other school activities is a way that school officials of that particular school promote their religious beliefs on the students. I never saw that saying prayers before a football game as a bad thing but one might observe a team doing so and say, “…..So..does that mean they believe that a higher being is supposed to or is going to help them win this game? I thought this was a sport where individuals with a different set of skills come together as a team to compete and possibly win?”. Throwback to the Crusaders of the past.

3. Conflict Theorists would say that the courts decision was right in the fact that it holds steadfast to their core theory. That the social order is maintained by domination and power, rather than consensus and conformity
