Our project really aims to allow people to think for themselves. We are approaching an argument that will be praised on some sides and attacked on the other, whereas, some people may just be indifferent. Our goal is to make sure that people are thinking, not just for themselves, but about themselves. We have found that religion is an overarching area that people use to make so many decisions in there life. This is a good thing, however we need to make sure that people are not just using religion to make those decisions. This should go for all experiences and beliefs in life as well. People should use their beliefs and experiences as a whole to make decisions. If religion is one of those things, it should be included, but it should not be the sole deciding factor.
It is my hope that our project will make people think about everything as a whole, as opposed to just using one aspect of their life. All of our different genres attempt to do this. We use emotional connections, satire, and basic news to help show voters how these ideals affect their lives. I think that this will allow for our readers to be involved in the project, but not get bored. All of the different genres bring new things to the table. Our main essay introduces the topic and the basic argument, while our op-ed piece gives a much more opinionated approach.
My favorite portion of the project is the use of satire. Our "Lost Commandments" and political cartoon show an extreme example of how people use religion in our country. Though I do believe that religion is very important and we need to keep from imposing our beliefs on those who do not want them. It is my hope that we can bring those who want to involve religion and don't want to involve religion together. After going through our project, I believe that our readers will understand the reasons on why we need to use all of our experiences to make decisions.
