culture

KQ #1: WHAT IS RELIGION, AND WHAT
ROLE DOES IT PLAY IN CULTURE?
• Great definition of religion:
– System of beliefs and practice that attempts to order
life in terms of cultural perceived ultimate priorities
• “Perceived ultimate priorities” is expressed in the
terms of “should”
–Should I say this?
–Should I do this?
–Should I eat this?
–Should I wear this?

KQ #1: WHAT IS RELIGION, AND WHAT
ROLE DOES IT PLAY IN CULTURE?
• In many religions, the idea that a “good” life has
rewards and that “bad” behavior risks punishment
has an enormous influence on culture, behavior and
how people perceive & evaluate the behavior of
others
• Religion manifests itself in many ways
– Some worship natural objects (mountains,
animals, trees), some worship a living person with
supernatural powers, some worship a deity or
deities
