Activity 5

What are the effects of Globalization in Religion in terms of:

1 .Politics

- Religions have crossed many boundaries, having been spread by immigrants, refugees, aggressors, or
by the founders of this country. Ultimately, cultural differences have changed religious beliefs and
traditions within religious practices. Our group simulation will attempt to examine the globalization of
religion by considering whether and how it might be possible to improve the understanding and
acceptance of diverse religious beliefs and cultural differences.

2. Economics

- Religion and the economy are more closely tied than one would expect. As the economy as grown in
the major countries of the world, the main religions of each of those countries have grown financially
because its members have accumulated more wealth and are able to contribute more dollars to finance
the basic financial needs of the religion as well as its growth and development.

3. Technology

- Technology, within the scope of religious globalization, plays a major role in how and to whom the
religion and its doctrine extend. Human civilization has never been without technology, and has relied
upon the potential of technological advances in order to advance its own social branches. It, can be
stated that human civilization at some point in history was without religion and had no purpose to
create one. Up until the age of global dominance by the human race, it was necessary to establish a
universal form of living and thinking due to the ever growing need to control and manipulate the minds
and hearts of people all over. In today’s world, where information and its instant quality are readily
available to even the most remote of sectors in the world, religion, if it is to survive, has adapted and
utilized technology and its light- speed ability to maintain a grip on its members.
