Durkheim found that religion had three elements: (1) beliefs that some things are sacred; (2) practices, or rituals, centering on the things considered sacred; and (3) a moral community, or church, that results from a group's beliefs and practices.

Answer to Question 2

Discrimination is an action. It is unfair treatment in some way. Prejudice is an attitude, a prejudging, usually in a negative way, but it can also be in a positive way.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
