A2 Sociology - Religion & Development

Order: Reorder

Updated: 10 Oct 2013

Modernisation undermines religion The importance of science and technology in economic development is seen as destroying belief in the supernatural On the other hand, religion may contribute to development WEBER argued in the case of the protestant ethic; sociologists examined what role religion may play in today's developing globalising world. 'God and Globalisation In India' Globalisation has overall brought a rapid economic growth and has seen India become a more important player on the world political stage. Meera Nanda's book in 2008 'God and Globalisation' examines how the role of Hinduism the religion of 85% of the population, in legitimating both the rise of a new Hindu 'ultra-nationalism' and the prosperity of the Indian middle class 'Hindu and Consumerism' Globalisation has created a huge and prosperous, scientifically educated and specialise in IT; which has created a middle class in India -- secularisation theorists predict these are the people who will abandon religion due their newly secular worldview Nanda observes that the majority of this class in India still believe in the supernatural. A survey was carried out by the centre for the study of developing societies (2007) It found that Indians are becoming more religious than before, with only 5% said their religiosity had declined in the last five years; whilst another 30% said they have become more religious. The survey also showed that urban educated Indians are more religious (this goes against secularisation theorists would believe they will eventually abandon religion) Evidence of this is that also increased interest and dramatic growth of religious tourism e.g. visits to shrines. Nanda also notes that it is also becoming fashionable to be religious and to be seen to be religious. Nanda also then examines what motivates the upper classed Indians t continue to believe in the supernatural beings and miracles. She rejects poverty insecurity as an explanation for this, because they are NOT poor. Nanda says they are optimistic about the opportunities that globalisation brings them; their increased religiosity is the result of their ambivalence about their new wealth 'Capitalism in East Asia' 'East Asian tiger economies' South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan have become successful industrialised & are now momentous players in the global economy -- China is also a new addition to this, becoming a major global industrial power. The success of capitalism in east asia has led to some sociologists to argue that religion has played a role similar to the one Calvinism played In the development of capitalism in the 16th and 17th century Redding (1990) says the spirit of capitalism amongst Chinese entrepreneurs in the tiger economies He sees their post-confucian values which encourages hard work, discipline and self-improvement. (this is a traditional belief system); the effect of this Chinese value system is similar to the protestant ethic -- both lead to economic productivity and the accumulation of capital. Pentecostalism in Latin America BERGER (2003) argues that Pentecostalism in latin America acts as a 'functional equivalent' to WEBER'S protestant ethic. He says it encourages the development of capitalism today the same way that Calvinism back in the 16th and 17th century. Berger agrees with Weber in saying that Protestantism is necessary to promote economic development and raise society out of poverty. Pentecostalism: Global and Local Christianity has globalised itself Lehmann (2002) differentiates between two phases in this expansion • In the first phase, Christianity accompanied colonisation and was imposed on the indigenous populations, often forcibly suppressing local religions • The second phase consisted of the spread of Christianity as it has gained a popular following E.g. in brazil there were 80million Pentecostalists in Brazil alone Pentecostalism has also been successful in developing countries because it is able to appeal particularly to the poor- it also uses global communications media to spread its message, along with 'road shows' and world tours by celebrity preachers

"Vision and Insight in Classic Japan" a Princeton Global seminar

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:11
Updated: 27 Sep 2013

Designed for students interested in traditional East Asia, religion, and the interaction of texts and the arts—or any combination of these subjects—this seminar will explore traditional Japanese culture with a particular emphasis on vision and it's relation to aesthetic, religious and ethical insight. Studies of the essential aspects of Japanese history, the mechanics of East Asian writing systems, and Mahâyâna Buddhism will be complemented by visits to celebrated gardens; opportunities to practice Zen meditation; and experience of traditional theater, music, and the tea ceremony. In addition, students will learn how the science of vision helps us understand the aesthetic achievements of garden designers, architects, and painters. The seminar examines how traditional Japanese arts have found a role in the world of modern Kyoto. Students will visit many important heritage sites around Kyoto, including the Nanzenji, Ryôanji, and Daitokuji temples; the National Museum; and "Philosopher's Walk." Longer excursions include a day trip to Nara and a weekend trip outside Kyoto to a traditional inn or hot spring.
