Define

 Religion
 ritual

In my own view, I will inform you the synopsis of religion. I am not a blind follower of any religion or faith. I think what I see or feel.
Religion comes from the Latin term "religare" meaning to bind or connect, and shares the same root as the term "ligament." The aim of
religion is to guide human beings to God. Religion enables us to describe our life, and so we can say that it provides significance to our
life. Religion enables us cope with the most stressful times of our life, because it provides us hope to move forward..

A ritual is a religious service or other ceremony which involves a series of actions performed in a fixed order. for example in, Wedding
Ceremony , Filipino weddings are full of symbols that demonstrate the love and engagement of the bride and groom to each other. The
bride and groom choose individuals outside their wedding group to behave as their sponsors for their unique day. The Principal
Sponsors are generally the aunt, uncle, or close friend they look up to and respect for. The Principal Sponsors are honored to be their
official witnesses of their marriage and to sign their marriage license. Secondary Sponsors are Veil Sponsors, Cord Sponsors, Coin
Sponsors, and Candle Sponsors. The Veil sponsors wrap a white veil around the shoulders of the couple to demonstrate that they are
now dressed as one. The veil is white, representing the purity of the pair. The Cord Sponsors bind a white cord in a figure of eight
shapes around the shoulders of the couple to symbolize their long-lasting marriage. The Coin Sponsors bring the Coin Unity Coins, or
Arrhae, to symbolize both the economic prosperity of the pair and the groom's engagement to take care of his bride and future kids.
The Candle Sponsors have the job of lighting candles on the altar that symbolize the Light of Christ that will guide the pair together in
their future.

4. who is dr. viktor e. frankl? what was his great contribution in the field of psychology

 Viktor Frankl, in full Viktor Emil Frankl, (born March 26, 1905, Vienna, Austria—died September 2, 1997, Vienna),
Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist who developed the psychological approach known as logotherapy, widely
recognized as the “third school” of Viennese psychotherapy, after the “first school” of Sigmund Freud and the “second
school” of Alfred Adler. The basis of Frankl’s theory was that the primary motivation of an individual is the search for
meaning in life and that the primary purpose of psychotherapy should be to help the individual find that meaning.After
earning a doctorate in medicine in 1930, Frankl joined the staff of the Am Steinhof psychiatric hospital in Vienna,
where he headed the female suicide prevention program from 1933 to 1937. He subsequently established a private
practice but, he being Jewish, was forced to close it after Nazi Germany annexed Austria in 1938. He then became
chief of neurology at Vienna’s Rothschild Hospital, which served the Jewish population. Anti-Semitism was on the
rise, however, and in 1942 Frankl and his family were sent to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where his father
perished. In 1944 the surviving Frankls were taken to Auschwitz, where his mother and wife were both exterminated.
As Frankl observed the brutality and degradationaround him, he theorized that those inmates who had some meaning
in their lives were more likely to survive; he himself tried to recreate the manuscript of a book he had been writing
before his capture.
