A Clash of Cultures: Exploring Past and Present Religious Conflicts

2009
A Clash of Cultures is a brief yet thorough overview and analysis of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The site explores both inter and intra-religious conflicts of the past and present. We investigated taboo subjects such as the fragile relationship between science and religion. Our goal was to educate the reader and support peaceful coexistence.

Team Collaboration

To complete this project working together as a group was paramount. Though the project would be difficult individually, teamwork made the ThinkQuest competition fun and educational.

Team Diversity

The idea for doing a project based on religious intolerance came from the diversity of each group member. The idea for the project came from when one member, went on a trip to Israel with seven Jewish kids and seven Christian kids to learn about understanding. Another group member visits Israel annually to visit relatives and is an Israeli citizenship. The third group member has an Asian heritage. All three of us bring our individual experiences to the group and significantly enhance the overall product by looking at issues from all angles.
