  1. Secular music

    Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Cleanup date January 2008 Secular music is non religious music. Secular means being separate from religion. In the Western world West , secular music developed in the Medieval period and was used in the Renaissance . Swaying authority from the Christian Church Church that focused more on Common Law influenced all aspects of Medieval life, including music. Secular music in the Middle Ages included love songs, political satire , dances, and dramatic works. Drum s, harp s, recorder s, and bagpipes were the Musical instrument instruments used in secular music because they were easy for the traveling musicians to tote about. Instruments were taught through oral tradition and provided great dancing music and accompanied the stanzas well. Words are an important part of secular music. Words were added for most and many common people to sing songs together for entertainment. Music styles were changed by secularization . The motet , for example, moved out of the Church and into the courts of nobility which then caused the motet to be forbidden in the Church. The largest collection of secular music from this period comes from poems of celebration and chivalry of the troubadour s from the south of France . These poems contain clever rhyme schemes, varied use of refrain lines or words, and different Metre music metric patterns. Composers like Josquin Des Prez wrote sacred and secular music. He composed 86 highly successful secular works and 119 sacred pieces. Secular music also was aided by the formation of literature during the reign of Charlemagne that included a collection of secular and semi secular songs.

  1. Secular coercion

    Secular coercion is a step taken, by means of a deliberate policy or without one, designed to lead to processes of Secularization or to disobedience of religious decrees amongst a religious public. An example of a secular coercion in Europe of the 2000s decade 2000s is the French law on secularity and conspicuous religious symbols in schools prohibition on wearing religious symbols , such as a veil , or Kippah in public schools in France and in the public service in Germany. In addition to the significant secular coercion, which prevents individuals from observing religious decrees or imposes secular norms on them, in many cases, there is also a conflict between religious people and non religious people regarding the proper behavior in public. Observance of religious and or secular norms are not always confined only to a person s private space, but in many times, also posed on the public space , and as a result a substantial conflict might arise between the religious population s norms and the secular population s norms. from the point of view of the secular population, this conflict may be interpreted as religious coercion , and from point of view of the religious population, this conflict may be interpreted as a secular coercion.

  1. Secular Buddhism

    Secular Buddhism is a relatively new form of buddhism that tries to also consider the historic and cultural background of the time when interpreting the teachings of Gautama Buddha . History One of the first people to propone a secular form of buddhism was Stephen Batchelor author Stephen Batchelor . Like many of today s proponent of secular buddhism he was a buddhist monk ordained in the more traditional forms of buddhism. From his experience as a monk practicing Tibetan Buddhism and later Zen he felt the need for a more secular and agnostic approach. In his books Buddhism without Beliefs and Confession of a Buddhist Atheist he describes his approach to buddhas teaching and describes Siddh rtha Gautama as a historic person rather than a idealized religious icon. Secular Buddhism has since spread mainly in the west. Overview of Philosophy Secular buddhism considers buddhism in all countries and times to be influenced by the cultural and historic beliefs of the society it entered. This does also apply to secular buddhism, where e.g. the decline of authorities can be derived from the decline of authorities in democratic societies. Literature Batchelor, Stephen.
