 Explain how Globalization affects religous
practice and beliefs:
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. "Indeed, with the globalization of economics and
politics, individuals feel insecure "as the life they once
led is being contested and changed at the same time.
Hence, "in order for a person to maintain a sense of
psychological well-being and avoid existential anxiety",
individuals turn to scripture stories and teaching that
provide a version about how they can be bound to a
"meaningful world", a world that is quickly changing day
by day.
Nonetheless, the relationship between
globalization and religion is one with new
possibilities and furthering challlenges. On
the one hand, while religion takes
advantage of communication and
transportation technology, it is at the same
time the source of globalization's greatest
resistance by acting as a haven for those
standing in opposition to it's power. On the
other hand because globalization allows
for daily contact, religion enters a circle of
themselves as being world religion."
The relationship between religion and
globalization is complex, one with new
possibilities and furthering challenges.
This essay cannot provide a
comprehensive overview of religion and
globalization, as the terrain is to vast. Still
does provide several examples to illustrate
the complex relationship between the two.
 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RELIGION AND GLOBAL
CONFLICTS AND CONVERSELY GLOBAL PEACE:

• Religious communities also directly

oppose repression and promote peace
and reconciliation.Interfaith dialogue is
another form of religious
peacemaking.Rather than seeking to
resolve a particular conflict.
• It is clear that religion has a major role in
many conflicts occuring at multiple levels
and locations.Religion has also become
one of the main ways in which people
connect with each other around the globe.
 CONCLUSION:

Globalization has a great impact on

religion. As people and cultures move
accross the globe, as ideas are mobilized
and transported by media technology, the
religous globalization will go on and on.
It has its pro and cons.People should cope
with the flow of info and choose their own
and peaceful way.
And to our mind,finally,the globalization
will end in complete domination of one of
them over the rest.
