    Good and Bad, Right and Wrong: How Do We Decide? Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Atheists 13-14 Year Olds

    Sandwell SACRE / RE Today © 2019 Unit 3.12 Year 8 or 9 Good and bad, right and wrong: How do we decide? Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Atheists 13-14 Year Olds Sandwell SACRE, 2019 1 Sandwell SACRE / RE Today © 2019 What is good and right? What is wrong and evil? Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Atheists Age Group: 13-14 About this unit: This non-statutory unit is offered to teachers as an exemplar for guidance in planning and delivering RE for 13-14s using the Agreed Syllabus. The unit explores questions such as ‘how do we know what is good and evil or right and wrong?’ and ‘Does religion do any good?’ ‘How do Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Atheists and Christians decide what is right and wrong? The unit is about the theme of goodness and evil, and examines issues about right and wrong, religious and other kinds of authority and the values and commitments by which each person chooses to live. It can be taught alongside PSHE / Citizenship or enrichment and general studies programmes with mutual concerns – though it is important for RE objectives to be carefully planned and realised if this is attempted. The investigation sets challenging standards for students: the higher order thinking the unit requires would not be out of place for gifted and talented students. Some elements of this enquiry could be fully integrated with GCSE RS (which many schools teach from Year 9). As well as being a legal requirement, it is important that schools plan quality in RE for all pupils. This unit is a model for such planning.

P. Singh Centre for Understanding Sikhism # 4-215, M.V. Blvd., Mississauga, L5A 1Y7, ON, Canada Abstract Various religious philosophies the world over, although differ in many details, yet they all emphasize the basic unity of the universe, through the recognition of panch tattva as the basis of creation. Most of these philosophies agree that a continuous exchange between these basic elements life and the creation, helps to balance the ever ongoing cycles of creation and destruction. The existence of panch tattva, with their extraordinary qualities, makes us aware of the unity and mutual interrelation of all things. They help us to transcend the notion of an isolated individual self and to identify ourselves with the ultimate reality. In this article on panch tattva, a perspective from Sri Guru Granth Sahib is outlined Introduction Ancient Greek and Indian philosophy describes four classical elements of creation and life. These elements are named as earth, water, air and fire. Empedocles (ca. 490–430 BC) called these the four “roots”. Plato (424 BC – 348 BC), was first to use the term “element” in reference to air, fire, earth, and water [1].

This is the sixth in our series of annual strategic documents created by Sikhs about Sikhs, and for all people with an interest in the changing lives of Sikhs in Britain. 2 ExEcutivE summary Over the last six years, we have developed robust and unrivalled statistical information about Sikhs living in Britain. This highly influential document has been quoted in Parliament, referred to in countless pieces of research and white papers relating to Sikhs or faith in general, and used by public bodies, the corporate sector and third sector groups in identifying the needs of British Sikhs. Our highly experienced team has worked with a large and diverse group of Sikh organisations throughout the country to create the questionnaire and collect the data. This year’s team has included research analysts, lawyers, academics, social workers, senior consultants and managers amongst many others who have volun- teered their valuable time and expertise to the project. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has helped us along the way, including those who went out within the Sikh community to gather responses.
