What are two examples of ways that people shape the world they live in? why do you think people do this?

religion and politics

People built religion and politics to form a functioning society with active citizens. While many believe that religion and state cannot be separated, most believe that the two should stand independent of each other.

The majority believes that regardless of different religious faith or political views, moral values should govern all human thinking and behavior within the society, and that each should have the freedom to pursue the truth and exercise his beliefs candidly.
