Fundamentalism & Globalisation
Body · points
(1) Steve Bruce suggest that the forces of modernisation coming out of globalisation has given push to the fundamentalism.
The beleivers of religions try to interpret religim in literal sense from historical religions texts and scriptures. These ardent beleivers then try to capture the political power to organise society in strict accordanu with the religious directions. They try to undo social changes resulted from globalisation and modernisation.
(2) Almond et.al. argue that the fundamentalist work to undo the erosion of religious values by promoting religion as a tool to capture power and provide an alternate social organisation according to religion.
