Common Era: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Line 18:

The Common Era designation is most often used by academics, especially by scholars of non-Christian cultures. Some non-Christians, who believe that the incorporation of Jesus into the international timekeeping standard clashes with their own religious or secular beliefs, have also adopted the designation. It is used in interfaith dialogue by some Christian churches[http://www.torontoareamennonites.ca/danforth/dmc_notes/witmer10.htm] and by some news media in the [[United States]][http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/nation-world/mideast/roots/] in articles when dealing with Palestine or interfaith matters. Secular organisations that use BCE/CE include the [[Royal Ontario Museum]] in Canada[http://www.rom.on.ca/ossuary/ossuary_intro.html], and the U.S. National Center for History in the Schools, which publishes the ''National Standards for History'' taught from kindergarten to 12th Grade.

==Opposition==

== aunque el fechar común de la era es extenso entre los historiadores, los arqueólogos, y el otro academicos, de la oposición del == no ha ganado la aceptación general fuera de esos grupos, y el público en general sigue siendo en gran parte desconocedor con la notación común de la era. Además, algunos escritores que opinión "era común" como tentativa de quitar referencias cristianas del calendario utilizan la notación del "CE" como taquigrafía para "[ [ era cristiana ] ]", un término ese los predates "era común". Las razones de oponer la designación común de la era incluyen: * Él downplays la prominencia de Jesús Cristo en sociedades del mayori'a-Cristiano. * Los meses y los días de la semana, nombrados respectivamente después de [ [ mitología romana|Romano ] ] y [ [ mitología de los nórdicos|Los dioses de los nórdicos ] ], permanecen sin cambiar, procuran tan quitar referencias a Jesús en el calendario son hypocritical. * Es un ejemplo de [ [ corrección política ] ]. * Preserva un worldview Cristiano-ce'ntrico, a expensas de un sistema timekeeping neutral, no-religioso. El ANUNCIO 1 del año no es ' campo común ' a muchas culturas modernas, donde no está el estándar que fecha y donde el nacimiento de Jesús (y el comienzo de la era cristiana) no se consideran las señales importantes en la historia del mundo. * No está como "campo común" como alguna gente puede creer. Por ejemplo, la mayoría de los países musulmanes todavía utilizan [ [ calendario islámico ] ] como su calendario oficial. Otro ejemplo sería [ [ Tailandia ] ], que utiliza oficialmente [ [ calendario budista ] ].

Although Common Era dating is widespread amongst historians, archaeologists, and other academics, it has not gained general acceptance outside those groups, and the general public is still largely unfamiliar with Common Era notation. In addition, some writers who view "Common Era" as an attempt to remove Christian references from the calendar use "CE" notation as shorthand for "[[Christian era]]", a term that predates "Common Era".

Reasons for opposing the Common Era designation include:

* It downplays the prominence of Jesus Christ in majority-Christian societies.

* The months and days of the week, named respectively after [[Roman mythology|Roman]] and [[Norse mythology|Norse]] gods, remain unchanged, so attempts to remove references to Jesus in the calendar are hypocritical.

* It is an example of [[political correctness]].

* It preserves a Christian-centric worldview, at the expense of a neutral, non-religious timekeeping system. The year AD 1 is not 'common' to many modern cultures, where it is not the standard dating and where Jesus' birth (and the start of the Christian Era) are not considered major landmarks in the world's history.

* It is not as "common" as some people may believe. For example, most Muslim countries still use the [[Islamic calendar]] as their official calendar. Another example would be [[Thailand]], which officially uses the [[Buddhist calendar]].
