REL 403 - Religion & Globalization

Institution:

Le Moyne College

Subject:

Description:

The peoples of the world have increasingly come to live as a single social unit. The historical process by which this has come about is referred to a globalization. Religions have contributed to, and been affected by, globalization. While some religions aspire to become global, today many religious leaders decry globalization, and in particular the global economy, for forcing developing countries to become severely dependent on industrial and post-industrial nations. The seminar discusses the concept of globalization, investigates the globalization of religions, and pursues ethical issues concerning globalization. A case study approach encourages students to work collaboratively on topics of interest to them and to make the seminar a capstone experience in which they may integrate their work across the curriculum. Prerequisites: REL 200, a REL 300-level course and senior standing.
