Beliefs and values in Albania

Albania is a very religious country; there are people from many different religions like Catholicism, Buddhism, and also Christianity. Values can easily be related with different beliefs that people have in common day tasks. Even though there are many religions, the bases are the same, everyone believes there’s one God that created everything around them, or an extremely force that controls everything everywhere.

In every religions there are certain mandatory actions that they should perform through life so they will be able to obtain eternal happiness, such as, loving God above everyone else, honor parents, do not kill and do not steal, among others. These concepts are similar in different religions and in most cases they are also values that people should accomplished to be able to live in society, surrounded by other people. Respect is the principal value that should prevail in every society including Albania, so people could live together with other human beings and be capable of interacting without having any kind of problem. This situation is not only for respect, it also involves other values that are important for a country to succeed, such as, love, tolerance, honesty and responsibility.

Although, there are people that think that values and beliefs are different because they have no religion or think that there isn’t a force that created everything and controls the universe. They believe that they should act in a proper way so they won’t have any kind of problems, and if they act well they get good things back, but not related with values or religions. However this is an invalid way of thinking, because we can’t believe that we just appear in this world out of nothing, because all of us come from a god.


To conclude, I think that values and beliefs are directly related because they determine the way we should behave. That’s why I think that we all should respect beliefs of others, so we can live in society and in harmony.
