    Globalization has affected religious practices in several ways: It has spread major religions like Christianity to new parts of the world, creating some uniformity in practices. However, it has also caused some regional or isolated religions to fade away as their followers convert to newly introduced faiths. While globalization promotes economic and cultural integration, it has also led religions to emphasize their distinct identities in response. However, most people have become more tolerant of different religious beliefs and associate violence with extremism rather than religion itself. Religions also play important social roles by addressing issues like poverty and promoting peace.

    04 Group Reflection Paper

    Instructions:
    1. Read 04 Readings 3-4 and watch 04 Video 1.
    2. Answer the question "How does globalization affect religious practices between
    different organized religions?" in a short essay.

    “Essay”
    Globalization can affect religious practices between different organized religions because
    Globalization is being the increase of interconnections globally has resulted in the spread of
    cultures, ideas and religions for the past few centuries. As we have connected with peoples
    around the world previously inaccessible to us, religion has been spread along with the other
    goods and knowledge. Globalization has spread religions, like Christianity, to places that it was
    not before while simultaneously creating uniformity in how those religions are practiced by
    different geographically distinct groups. There is a benefit, in that peoples around the world can
    further unify around a shared religion with common practices. However, as with globalization in
    general there are drawbacks. Religions may fade away as their practitioners are converted to
    newly introduced religions. Similar to the languages and cultures of some indigenous peoples, as
    the world becomes more connected in a shared dominant culture, those regional, more isolated
    and diverse cultures are overtaken and assimilated.

    Religion and Globalization have always shared a relation of struggle and conflict.
    Globalization has generally been linked with economic and political interdependence which
    ultimately has brought people closer and effect of no event is isolated but is felt in far-off places
    too. It has shifted the cultural build-up of the world and led to formation of a ‘global culture’- a
    common minimum which is accepted by all. Globalization stands for increased and daily contact
    while religions are becoming more self-conscious for themselves as being the world religions.
    The basic tenets of globalization stand against religious parochialism. By diminishing the
    barriers between different cultures, globalization lands religion in a quagmire of conflicts which
    reinforce social identities as some do not accept the new realities and turn to religion to
    rediscover their own identity. Religion provides a sense of belongingness to a group in the
    world. Religion has stood the complexities and onslaught of the modern world and is seen to be
    further intensified under the conditions of contemporary development.

    Although some groups have made religion as a weapon to both integrate and terrorize
    masses, generally people have become more tolerant of other religious beliefs and practices and
    have come to associate all acts of terror as anti-religious. In the past few centuries, where the
    vulnerable sections find themselves more marginalized by the forces of globalization, religion
    takes a prime welfare role and acts as a cultural protector for these sections. Religion thus plays
    a social role by helping in social causes and successfully gets greater recognition. Here it
    presents a direct challenge to globalization. In this fast pace life, religion acts as “home” for
    personal peace and gives a message of peace in times of crisis. Urbanization has attracted many
    rural youths and continues to bring them to cities for better life. Religion can use the new
    possibilities presented by the global forces to reach to more people and also rediscover the
    essence of other religions. All religions have fixed texts but none has fixed beliefs. Religions can
    come together and stand for increased peace in the world with mutual tolerance and respect.
