What kind of things can be an establishment of a religion?

What we talked about today was extremely sensitive and hard to say. Apparently, the symbol of one of the most famous holiday, Christmas, have recently become a talking point as a controversial problem in the U.S. As everyone knows, the symbol is a christmas tree.
Some people said that the government, the administration, or other authority should not cerebrate a specific religion because the conduct would be an establishment of a specific religion. For this reason, it is getting popular among the American citizens to call the christmas tree the holiday tree. I can understand why the people insisted that kind of opinion. However, changing the name is pretty weird for me as a solution because the event has been established or started as the holiday of Christianity, of course Christians should have the right of naming the symbol of the event unless other religions have the similar event using this kind of trees on the same date. Meanwile, I also understand, the multicultural big country, America, have a lot of different people who live by their own principles. The government should probably consider abount that. But i still don't think the christmas tree should be changed to "the holiday tree". It sounds weird and ridiculous for me. In addition, I'm not Christian.

the separation between the government and religions.

I basically agree with this idea, but its extremely hard to say.
I dont mean that the government shoudnt be related to any religion. However, if the government followed the order of the specific belief of some religion in muticultural countries, such as the United States, it would cause prioritizing religions or religious things unconsiously or automatically. Probably, it would be inevitable. It would probably viorate other religions, especially smaller ones if the government which strongly tied with one specific religion existed and enforced some lows besed on its religious principles. Meanwhile, I dont think the goverment had better gevern without thinking and care about religions. it would be much worse than i had mentioned. In the dairy life, we naturally respect someone's religeon and thought for protectiong the right of freedom and the dignity. Yet, we all know that we should not accept any conduct of treading the right under foot even though the conduct is based on the belief of someone's religion. I believe that we can say the same thing to the government. This common knowleadge is not only come from teachings of religions, but proper education or educational environment can teach us these kind of well-balanced sense of value.

demand and supply

what kind of demand is there? If a style of supply changed, would the demand change? how about market? thinking about my topic, arts administration and the internet, it is inevitable to think about that.

Business chance

We started to research about our essays. My topic is the history of arts administration in the U.S.
it is harder to find proper infomation than I expected, even on the internet. However, it means only few people have knowledge about this area. there is always a new business chance.

Images of heros

This boring post is brought to you by Mits. This is my first post on Cara's Class Blogs :)
If I asked you what a hero usually is like, What would you say? someone who has a super power and can defeat villains easily? or who is extremely self-relreliant and can get over any obstacles? We studied the American stereotypes of heroes and how those have been composed by learning an american historical background.
In American Movies, it is not so hard to guess who a mein hero is when I first see the person. Usually, American Heros are macho men and mandsome. they dont really make mistakes.
How about it in Japan? Old japanese heroes are usually humble, unobtrusive,of course amazingly strong, and scattercrains. they dont usually tried to lead others in front of a lot of peope. they do their hero's jobs secretly.
As I mentioned, these historical background and images of heroes have definitely influenced the cultures and the senses of value in each contries.
When I see this kind of the hero movies next time in my contry, Japan, I would like to analyze how the directors and playwrights have been influenced by Japanese historical backeground of the image of heros.
