    Part I: Topic: The Globalization of Religion

    Religion is a set of beliefs, practices and values that guide the behavior and
    worldview of a group of people. About 85% of the world's people identify with a
    religion. However, Globalization is a term used to describe how trade and
    technology have made the world into a more connected and interdependent place.
    The two are entirely contrasting belief system. Religious people are less concern
    with wealth and all that comes along with it. Globalist are less worried about
    whether they would end up in heaven or hell. At some point religion is for
    globalization and religion is against globalization.

    Information you obtained from the discussion

    In this topic, the religious ideas, rituals, and religious organizations exceed their
    original local or cultural and reach a global audience. This growth is a greatly
    helped by modern technology, improved transportation, and increased
    communication, which allow religious messages to spread rapidly across borders.
    Furthermore, globalization can encourage interreligious or interfaith dialogue and
    cooperation as people of different religious backgrounds involved in discussions
    and collaborations to address shared concerns, like peace, social justice, or
    environmental issues. On the contrary, there is a negative effect. When it comes to
    globalization of religion it can also lead to conflicts, especially when religious
    beliefs clash, or when religious groups fights for control or influence in new global
    contexts. These tensions can be cause in differences in values, rituals, or
    interpretations of religious texts. So, while globalization can make an action to
    make it easier for greater understanding and collaboration among religions, it can
    also make the problem or situation worsen the religious tensions and conflicts in
    certain situations.

    Part III: What have you realized?

    I learnt a lot about this topic. I discovered that the globalization of religion can
    change how people interact between different faiths and so, this leading to a more
    interconnected world between two or more countries. People of various religious
    backgrounds get closer together and there is a huge opportunity for discussion and
    understanding between cultures, which may create an environment where respect
    and cooperation can be flourish.

    But this also have a negative impact in our society, the expansion of religion
    around the globe is not a consistently peaceful process because religious ideas
    have a huge impact on both individual behavior and global politics. They are
    important parts that have an impact on international relations and choices of policy,
    occasionally leading to tensions and conflicts on a global level.

    In conclusion this topic the “The Globalization of Religion” have an impact on our
    ethical and moral aspects of our lives. The globalized globe reflects several kinds
    of different religious ideals that interact, sometimes peacefully and other times in
    conflict. It creates challenging moral and ethical issues that need careful
    consideration. We are faced with the challenging task of understanding the
    complicated the world of cultural and moral relativity in an environment where
    several worldviews exist and occasionally conflict.
