THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN GLOBALIZATION

GLOBALIZATION

The interconnectedness and interdependence among countries.

The exchange of products, goods, and services among countries

Generally, globalization is first thought of "in economic and


political terms, as a movement of capitalism spreading across
the globe. It calls to mind "homogenizing exports of the US
such as Nike, McDonald's, and MTV.

As goods and finance crisscross across the globe, globalization


shifts the cultural makeup of the globe and creates a
homogenized "global culture."

RELIGION

Generally, religion is a "system of beliefs and practices." More


specifically, the word comes from the Latin "religare" which
means "to bind together again that which was once bound but
has since been torn apart or broken."

contested and changed at the same time. And in order for a
person to maintain a sense of psychological well-being and
avoid existential anxiety.
