The Struggles of Change Essay

This work investigates the implications of theories of global change for the study of religion generally and, through a series of case studies, applications of those theories to specific religious movements. In particular, Beyer is interested in the seeming contradiction of the persistence of conflict between social units within a globalizing world that is more and more becoming a "single place." The first half of his book, the introduction and four chapters, is taken up with theoretical definitions of religion as a social system and the position of that social system with regard to other systems. The second half of the book, five chapters, explores applications of Beyer’s theorizing to a wide range of world religious particularities.

From 1900-1920 in the United States of America the reformers of the Progressive Era and the Federal Government were effective bringing about reform dealing with reforms to improve the social disgrace of the working conditions, the enthusiasm to be a nation of self-governed people, and the individual interests of presidents despite limitations in the rulings of court cases, the application of reforms reached, and the varying effectiveness of presidents.

We, as Americans, could do so much more, not only as individuals, but as a nation, to make sure that we have better health, but specifically, psychological health. We must start in the mind before we can do anything for our physical health, because the brain controls our bodies, and without strong mental health, you are in danger of becoming sick. There are also many political things that we can do as well to make sure we don't go crazy when it comes to debating and spewing thoughts out at other people.

Throughout the course of history it is evident that the values of society have dramatically changed over the years. The values that people posses change depending on what’s occurring around the world at the time, whether a fierce, bloody war resulting from a calamity or a time of peace and renaissance. The choices people make can either help change society for the better or they can help bring society down. Many different factors lead to the events that can change entire societies such as education or discrimination, both of which can have negative repercussions.

Transhumanism is a “is a politically and emotionally charged word that scientists are referring to as the augmentation of the human condition through technology, primarily to enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capabilities” (Jiang, 2015). Technological advancements play an ever-increasing part in our lives, more so now than any other time in mankind 's history. With advances in the fields of engineering, science, robotics, and neuroscience, I believe we are on the precipice of great and drastic change. This could equally lead to an ethical and social meltdown in our society. I think this fundamentally is a wrong idea because it goes against Gods creation, and core human values. Per (Ćirković, 2016), “Bio conservatives have argued against bio enhancement, as they believe that it is aimed at intervening in what has been ordained by God or given to us by nature.”

In life there are many situations where rebellion is required for change and improvement. Some are simple, like growing up and learning not to do certain things and others are more complex like when a group of people stand up for what they believe, for example, women’s rights and black’s rights. I believe that rebellion is healthy for any growing society. There are many things that we do not agree with, whether it is the law or our parent’s instructions. By rebelling we can change our society and/or ourselves for better.

Change is the one constant in life that always remains throughout time. Throughout life, change occurs from birth until death. Human beings can and have pursued changes in their communities, governments, even their nation as a collective force by joining others with similar motivations and goals as themselves. Inequality in life, an ideal that people hold when being oppressed, can spark movements such as civil rights, equal pay, educational rights for all and women’s rights to choose what happens to their own bodies. This can grow into organizations that we know today that still fight for civil rights for all, among other organizations fighting for common interests of select groups.

. Morris explains, “I believe it matters not where you and what you are going through. There is always a way out. All you have to do is keep looking for it.’’ Girt is a way to be successful, but it’s full of disappointing moments, we have to have hope and keep the hard working. Indeed, this is the only way to your goal to become accessible. In our way to become successes we have to consider the idea of accept things and change things. Like Mark Olmsted in his essay, “The Courage to Change the Things I Can” point out that, “I believe in picking up trash because it’s taught me that you can’t assume to know the difference between the things you most accept and things that you can change- you have to think about it.” Although we have to keep going

Today’s world was not one that was theorised to happen. It was believed that over time, there would be a decline in religion. It seems though that the opposite has happened. Religion is now on the rise in both Western and Eastern countries. It can be said that Religion is still very strong force in today’s society (Landmark Digital Limited 2005). This essay will respond to the question of why Religion is still such a strong force in contemporary society. The essay will look at the idea of modernity and fundamentalism and then present three arguments to why religion is still such a force despite theorist claiming that secularisation would rid the world of religion. These arguments are; firstly, globalisation has caused a uprising of fundamentalism due to the clash of civilisations, secondly, people seek the security religion gives them when the state fails to do so and, thirdly, in the western world, people still seek out religion due to the feeling of ‘emptiness’ the lifestyle of the West has given them.

The different beliefs and ideologies engage in mutual fragilisation where the attack on the other parties serve to assert the truth of one’s claim. Indeed, the Church can no longer assume that people are born religious as the order of society has been disrupted. As a consequence, there is a polarisation of society.

Freedom of religion is the foundation of human nature and a base in human social life. The movement to get “freedom of religion” preceded other

Today, in the twenty-first century, religion plays a major positive role in many individual's life. However, religion is also at the core of many of the conflicts around the globe. Religion is also important as a central part of many individuals' identity and any threat to one's beliefs is a threat to one's very being. This aspect of religion and conflict is discussed in this essay along with reasons through which conflict rose in the first place.

Religious Fundamentalism is not a modern phenomenon, although, there has received a rise in the late twentieth century. It occurs differently in different parts of the world but arises in societies that are deeply troubled or going through a crisis (Heywood, 2012, p. 282). The rise in Religious Fundamentalism can be linked to the secularization thesis which implies that victory of reason over religion follows modernization. Also, the moral protest of faiths such as Islam and Christianity can be linked to the rise of Religious Fundamentalism, as they protest the influence of corruption and pretence that infiltrate their beliefs from the spread of secularization (Heywood, 2012, p. 283). Religious Fundamentalists have followed a traditional
