Religion in Contemporary Society
Description
This informative video discusses what religion means in today's society and looks at some of the new religious movements that have evolved. We discuss if contemporary society is moving away from the traditional and historical view of religion or if religion and spirituality is merely changing and taking on new forms. It also includes a definition of substantive and functional approaches to religion. This film resource is produced to prompt discussion and debate and comes with worksheets containing questions and activities for the students.
