Response to Armando
Armando, I agree with you on how you have answered the question, and I appreciate how you arranged your ideas. You perfectly came up with the rightful definitions of karma, reincarnation, and Vedas idea as used in Hinduism. However, in my opinion, I would wish that you could have come up with a conclusion giving a contrast between Hinduism beliefs and other religious beliefs such as Christianity. As per Manson (2010), karma refers to “deed or act,” although it broadly defines cause and effect. Reincarnation is defined as the soul transmigration from one life form to another (Barman, 2020). Vedas being Asian historical books that govern their religion. It is essential that you also give examples of such books; for instance, we have Rig, Sema, Atharva, and Yajur Vedas. In your conclusion, you can highlight some of the similarities and differences between Hinduism and Christianity beliefs and their impact. For instance, Christians believe in life after death, which is an equivalence of reincarnation in Hinduism, and they both impact societies positively. Contrary, Christians do not believe in karma, and thus there is little consciousness in their deeds.

Response to Natalie
Natalie, I agree with you on the way you tackled the question. Your work is orderly and impressive and an excellent addition to religion and theology. You exhaustively gave a good summary of karma, reincarnation, and Vedas as practiced in Hinduism, and that was what you were expected of. However, it could be more prudent if you could also briefly discuss these beliefs' value to society. How they have impacted peoples' way of life in terms of moral values. Karma refers to a principle operating on the Newtonian law of motion, where action produces equal but opposite reaction (Manson, 2010). Reincarnation states that a person's soul can be transformed from one life form to another, which is the result of Karma (Barman, 2020). Vedas, on the other hand, are historic books used by Asians to govern their religious beliefs. Basing on these beliefs, I will argue that karma and reincarnation are essential tools in society as they build a well-behaved society due to considerations of the outcomes.
