Wikipedia projects done by me will, for the most part, be for the class "Ethics for a Free World" at my university. Ideas, sources, and notes may be posted here for organizational purposes.

Wikipedia Project Proposal

Evil - Sikhism

I am planning to focus my project on the Wikipedia page featuring the concept of Evil. On this page the views of many world religions are detailed. However, I noticed that Sikhism was not present among them, thus prompting me to want to add it. In terms of research, I have ordered a version of the Sikh holy text via the library, and obtained two scholarly journal entries as detailed below.

• Sandhu, J. (2004). The sikh model of the person, suffering, and healing: Implications for counselors. International Journal for the Advancement of Counseling, 26(1), 33-46.
  • In the interest of examining psychological trends in South Asia, with special attention to the concepts of suffering and healing, many elements of Sikhism are detailed, including ideas of the mind, body, and spiritual belief.

• Singh, A. (2000). The universal ideal of sikhism. Global Dialogue, 2(1), 99.
  • Profiles many of the perspectives of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikh religious traditions. Though this lens, some of the universals of Sikh doctrine and ideology are covered, such as Sikh world views, religious and moral positions, scripture, and community.

My future research will be geared toward more in-depth information on the "Five Thieves" of Sikhism, which are a series of traits from which all evil arises.
