    This document discusses how religion has globalized through various processes. It identifies four models of "glocalization" - the blending of global and local influences: 1. Vernacularization blends religious universalism with local languages. Examples include Arabic serving as the sacred language of Islam in non-Arab contexts. 2. Indigenization blends religious universalism with local rituals and expressions, like African traditions blending with Christianity in Brazil and the Caribbean. 3. Nationalization intertwines religion and national identity, like the relationship between the Church of England and British nationalism. 4. Transnationalization describes religious communities maintaining ties to home and host countries, creatively blending elements from both.

    CONTEMPORARY WORLD

    LESSON 6: THE GLOBALIZATION


    OF RELIGION
    Religion
    An organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules
    used to worship a god or a group of gods.
    An interest, a belief, or an activity that is very
    important to a person or group.
    Effects of Globalization on Religion
    Rise to religious nationalism
    Turn of religion into the public life
    Proliferation of international terrorism
    Increase of individual religiosity
    Deterritorialization of religion
    Easternization of the West
    Global trends and Impulses
    Model of 4 distinct glocalization
    Glocalization - Glocalization is a combination of the
    words "globalization" and "localization.“It is the
    practice of conducting business according to both
    local and global considerations.

    Vernacularization
    Indigenization
    Nationalization
    Transnationalization
    Vernacularization

     Vernacularization blends religious universalism


    with specific vernacular languages. This
    glocalization is certainly far more common in pre-
    modern or pre-literate cultures, in which access to
    sacred texts was limited and religious efficacy could be
    tied to a specific language.
    Perhaps the most prominent example of such
    vernacularization comes from Islam, whereby Arabic
    serves as the religion’s sacred language—even in
    cultural contexts outside the Arab world.
    Indigenization

    Indigenization blends religious universalism with


    local particularism by adopting religious ritual,
    expression and hierarchies into the specifics of a
    particular ethnicity.
    examples of indigenization come from Brazil and the
    Caribbean, places in which African traditional forms
    of religiosity have blended with Christianity.
    Nationalization

    Nationalization operates through the use of religion as


    a potential source for nation formation or the
    intertwining of religious and national markers
    The Church of England is perhaps emblematic of such
    a relationship, but it is not an isolated example
    Transnationalization

    transnational people (i.e., all those currently residing


    within a host state but who are not viewed as
    belonging to the host nation) reconstitute their ties to
    both host and home countries, and they engage in a
    creative process of blending elements from both
    points of reference. It is in this sense that
    transnationalization is seen as a form of glocalization. 
    Globalization of religion
    Globalization of religion brought two opposing
    results: conflict and peace.
    Conflicts are about identity and economics and
    privilege and power.
    Religion as a source of Peace
    The teachings of Great religions on moral principles
    and values are necessary tools for the lessening of
    avarice, abhorrence, and illusions that are the root
    causes of conflicts.

    LESSON 7: MEDIA AND
    GLOBALIZATION
    CULTURE
    Refers to the unified style of human knowledge,
    beliefs, and behavior from which people learn, and the
    ability to communicate knowledge to the next
    generations.
    Media
    Is described as a means of conveying something, such
    as a channel of communication.
    Evolution of Media
    Oral communication - Language –
    tool to communicate and share
    information
    Script - Script allowed people to
    communicate over a larger space and
    for much longer duration.
    Printing press – allowed the
    continuous production, reproduction,
    and circulation of print materials.
    Electronic media – includes the
    telegraph, telephone, radio, film, and
    television.
    Digital Media – Digitalized content is
    transmitted over the internet and
    computer networks.
    The Effects of Media to the Globalization of
    Culture
    1. Cultural Differentialism – cultural difference as
    immutable.
    2. Cultural Convergence – globalization engenders a
    growing sameness of culture
    3. Cultural Hybridity – Globalization spawns an
    increasing and ongoing mixing of cultures.
