The micro-sociology of the religion

The micro-sociology studies the individual when an individual is practicing it´s own religion, is focus in the individual. but, are others studies as the macro-sociology, that in religion shows patterns of historical change, innovation, conflict, rise and fall. And meso-sociology that shows the importance to understand the dynamics of a given chirch in a given point of time.

We should distinguish between formal ceremonial and interaction ritual, Altought both are rituals, formal ceremonies is performed by an authoroty of the religion and interactual ritual isnt imposed by the institution, just happens. They enact social relationship of different degrees.

Cheking the distinctiveness of religious rituals, can be difered that distinctive emotianl experiencies and symbolic contents are the ones that changes depending each religion and thoughts. Finally, some new religions as scientology are changing the mind and thoughts of people. The majority of people are catholic not by choice if not by heritage, that may generate rejec by people who recieve religion because of the parents. For most people, religion is an obligation and should be something that each one believe and want to preach.

Religious Organization

People gets closer to religion when feels sad, or is suffering, have troubles. Siddharta Gautama is the icon of religious leader, military leader and for his profecies. 

the story of this religious leader start when Siddharta´s father kept him in his castle to try he couldnt see the pain, suffering  and not get close to religion, but  at the age of 29 Siddhartha left his palace to meet his subjects. Despite his father's efforts to hide from him the sick, aged and suffering, Siddhartha was said to have seen an old man. When his charioteer channa explained to him that all people grew old, the prince went on further trips beyond the palace. On these he encountered a diseased and an ascetic. These depressed him, and he initially strived to overcome ageing, sickness, and death by living the life of an ascetic. The principle that buda teach is when spiritualization is institutionalized, they can achieve to control people, to get profits, to get power. things are induced by men through the religiuos institutions. man, a decaying corpse,

Sem is other icon, was one of the three sons of Noah, he got the authority by his father. Jews reflect a lot of things, this makes them hermetic towards another cultures. 

The differents religious leaders of each culture and religion have give taughts to the humanity, this has created history and new ideas to the world, enhancing the differetns thoughts of each religion.

Differences between North and South Korea



Expatriates and Migration

People goes aborad of the country not only for vacation, others facts as move out permannently or temporarily for bussines, studies or because the citizen is required for the company in other country.
 An expatriate person can go back to the country without problem but when the person migrate is more difficulte be back in his country wherever the citizen wants.

A company has to afford the expenses of the expatriate person, so, the cost for a company havinf employees out is really high. Also,  they became ambassadors of the culture, knowledge and philosophy of the organization.

In Colombia are certain types of migration, when people in the countryside have to move to the cities for insecurity fact, better conditions or economy facities. In the transnational case, the main factor for migration is armed conflict and better conditions.

"Amaras el lider sobre todas las cosas"

In the film "Amaras el lider sobre todas las cosas" the director wanted focus on all the negative things about North Korea. I think every country makes mistakes and have both positive and negative politics and laws; Also, all cultures are differents with own thoughts and ways to live.

North Korea  is one of the most literate countries in the world, with an average literacy rate of 99%, Education is compulsory until high school, this is the major good aspect of the country.

Tourism in North Korea is organized by the state owned Korea International Travel Company. Every group of travelers as well as individual tourists/visitors is permanently accompanied by one or two "guides" who normally speak the mother language of the tourist. While tourism has increased over the last few years, tourists from Western countries remain few.

Is a country that is concern about the environment, for that the bike is the first transportation of the citizens. Cars are difficult to get for the differents laws against the trade of those. this is a country distinguish for the order, cleanness and neatness in the cities. and in the last place, men are raise in a military environment this could be a good thing for the patriotism.
