W6.1 Sociology of religion

1. Summary

Religious sociology is the study of urgency, practice, and organizational forms using sociological methods. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Emil Durchem and Max Weber explained theories about religious sociology. First of all, Emil Durchem argued that he was positivist and that religion was an expression of unity. And the religious system is increasingly focused on individual salvation and conscience. Conversely, Max Weber published his paper through economic sociology, not positivism. He argued that religious acts themselves should be understood in terms, saying religion shapes an individual's view of the world. The text also describes the sociological classification of religious movements. Among sociologists, religious groups are divided into sects, sects, and cults. Sections are attractive to the weak in society, and cults are said to be highly tense because they are religious movements that focus on supernatural phenomena.

2.New point

I found the contents of secularization and civil religion fresh. In America, people in various fields accept secularism. First of all, when it comes to secularization, the economy will be the first to emerge. Martin is said to have suggested removing it from the social science unit because secularization has only contributed to the purpose and there is no evidence that human history has changed from religious Siden to secular times. In addition to Martin, Brian and Michelle Foucault have also learned new things about secularization theory related to religion.


3.Question

Science & Futurism with Isaac 2_extra credit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRStfFOwcsM The video "What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off?" by AlternateHistoryHub explores a fascinating hypothetical scenario: what the world might look like if the dinosaurs had survived the catastrophic events that led to their extinction 66 million years ago. The video delves into various aspects of this alternate history, examining the potential impact on mammalian evolution, human development, and the planet's ecosystems. The video begins with a brief overview of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which wiped out the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to become the dominant life forms on Earth. It then explores the possible consequences if this event had never occurred. The narrative is engaging, combining scientific knowledge with imaginative speculation to paint a vivid picture of an alternate Earth. One of the most intriguing points discussed is how the survival of dinosaurs might have affected mammalian evolution. Witho...

Extra credit—Examples of values that have been commodified

Commodification of wood carving In fact, the situation described above is a thing of the past. It's not completely changed, but there are a few exceptions now with the penetration of the monetary economy. These changes, presumably, began in the 1960s, when farmers in Zafimaniri began selling crafts. The artefacts were originally purchased by Catholic priests in France to minimize food shortages during bad harvests. Also, around the same time, the museum affiliated with the Antananarivo University, Madagascar's largest institution of higher learning, began collecting specimens from all over Madagascar, and the "folk arts" inherited from the mountains were also extensively collected. As a result, the exquisite wood carvings of Zafimaniri were first recognized overseas and later by the wealthy class in China. The penetration of monetary economy has brought the following effects to the production of wood carving. 1. Before the beginning of professional commercialization, ...

W5.2- Introduction to Sociology/Religion-LUAN QIANYUE

 1.Summary The sociologist Émile Durkheim described it by saying that it consists of "things beyond the limits of our knowledge". Religion is "a unified system of beliefs and practices associated with sacred things, that is, separated and forbidden, beliefs and practices united into a single moral community called the Church, for all those who adhere to them". Religion can be broadly defined as a system of beliefs, values and practices that provide individuals with a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. It is a fundamental aspect of human culture and has played an important role in shaping society throughout history. Sociologists are interested in understanding how religion influences social behavior, how it interacts with other social institutions, and how it shapes individual and group identity. 2.Interesting point Religion exists as an organized and integrated set of beliefs, behaviors, and norms centered on basic social needs and values. It typically inc...
