G6SwaT3OS12023Q1

Je, ni mambo gani ambayo yanafaa kufanywa na jamii yenu? Dini yenu hufundisha mambo gani ambayo lazima yazingatiwe? Kuna itikadi mbalimbali katika jamii yetu. Kuna itikadi ambazo ni za kidini na zingine za kijamii. Baadhi ya itikadi ni muhimu katika maisha yetu ya kila siku. Itikadi kama hizo ni zile ambazo zinakuza heshima na ushirikiano kati yetu.

Kuna jamii ambazo zinasisitiza hali ya heshima ya mmoja kwa mwingine. Nidhamu katika jamii kama hizo huimarishwa na kila mwanajamii. Vilevile, kunazo imani za kidini ambazo husisitiza maadili kati ya wanajamii wote. Maadili ni tabia nzuri za binadamu. Tabia zisizopendeza na maovu hupingwa katika mafundisho ya kidini.

Hata hivyo, kuna itikadi za kijamii ambazo hazifai hata kidogo. Si vizuri kuwa na dhana kuwa watoto wa jinsia fulani ni bora au muhimu kuliko jinsia nyingine. Watoto wote ni muhimu, wawe wavulana au wasichana. Mtoto ni baraka kutoka kwa Mungu. Mtoto ni zawadi ambayo Mungu hupeana kwa familia. Si vizuri kupewa zawadi na kisha kuidharau. Kuna watu mbalimbali ambao wametekeleza mambo mengi makubwa bila kujali jinsia yao. Kila mtu ana uwezo wake, hakuna jinsia ambayo ni dhaifu.

Isitoshe, si vyema kumlazimisha mtu kuoa ama kuolewa na mtu fulani. Aidha, ndoa za mapema hazifai hata kidogo. Je, ni itikadi gani za kidini na kijamii unazozijua ambazo hazifai?

    4. husisitiza umuhimu wa maovu maishani.
  2. Ipi si tabia ambayo huweza kufundishwa na dini kulingana na kifungu?
    1. uzalendo
    2. ushirikiano
    3. ukatili
    4. uvumilivu
  3. Zifuatazo ni itikadi zisizofaa isipokuwa;
    1. ndoa za mapema
    2. kuhesimu makabila mengine
    3. kudharau watoto wa jinsia fulani
    4. ndoa za lazima
  4. Mwandishi wa kifungu hiki anatoa ushauri gani?
    1. Hakuna mtoto ambaye ni bora kuliko mwingine.
    2. Watoto wa kike ni bora kuliko wa kiume. 
    3. Hakuna mtoto ambaye ni muhimu katika jamii.
    4. Mtoto anafaa kuwa baraka kwa Mungu.
  5. Kulingana na kifungu hiki, ni kweli kuwa;
    1. Tunafaa kufuata itikadi zote kati jamii.
    2. Itikadi zote za kiafrika hazifai.
    3. Tunafaa kufuata itikadi za wazungu pekee.
    4. Kuna itikadi zinazofaa na zile zisizofaa.

Our Social Studies teacher, Mrs Nyagol, is helping in editing them so as to ensure they are error-free. She is also helping with the ideas. The head teacher has also promised to support in publishing the articles.

Games and sports are very important to us. They offer numerous benefits to those who engage in them. First, games and sports offer a platform for physical activity. They not only keep us healthy and fit, they also improve blood circulation, remove tiredness and lethargy, and as a consequence, improve our overall well-being.

Secondly, games and sports are a useful means of entertainment. Many of us enjoy at least a sport or a game in their lives. This offers us a change from the monotony of daily life. In the process, we develop a sense of friendliness and a team spirit, which brings about unity and cohesion.

Children are taught some games at a very early stage at home or in school. This helps with their physical and mental growth, as well as builds and grows their character. They also inculcate good values in the learners.

Lastly, games and sports offer career opportunities. Those who perform exceptionally well are offered a chance to play at the national and international level and earn a living. Therefore, the importance of games and sports in our lives cannot be overemphasized.
