Assignment - Religion in the News: How Religion Shapes the World

Details

Overview

Religion is a significant influencer of secular parts of society. In this assignment, you consider the impact of religion on one aspect of society.

Preparation

Research a recent instance where religion has played a significant role in shaping an issue, politics, culture, or another area of your choosing. There are countless examples. Some include:

Culture: The impact of Sharia law on how people dress or events that they can attend.

Economics: Trade restrictions on countries that repress members of religions such as those levied on China in 2021 due to human rights violations committed against Uyghurs.

Politics: Some states like the Islamic Public of Iran are run by theocracies that pervade almost all parts of society.

As you can see, many of the lines between them are blurred - one bleeding into another.

Instructions
