 1、Summary

Sociology of religion is a discipline that uses sociological tools and methods to study religious beliefs, practices, and forms of organization. Early theorists such as Durkheim, Marx, and Weber laid the foundations for the sociology of religion, with Durkheim emphasizing the role of religion in social cohesion, Marx seeing religion as an escape from alienation, and Weber focusing on the relationship between religion and the spirit of capitalism. Sociology of religion differs from philosophy of religion in that it focuses more on objective description and analysis than on evaluating the validity of religious beliefs. This discipline explores, through quantitative and qualitative methods, the impact of religion on individuals and society, and the role and function of religion in society.

2、Interesting place

The sociology of religion covers the historical evolution of religion and its evolutionary impact on society. Studying the changes and development of religion in different historical periods and cultural contexts can shed light on the relationship between religion and social change. In contemporary society, religions face new situations and problems in the face of challenges such as globalization, multiculturalism and technological development. The sociology of religion is important for understanding the role and response of religion in these changes. The sociology of religion not only studies religious groups and systems as a whole, but also focuses on individual beliefs and experiences of religion. This relates to the individual's role in society, identity and influence on religious practices and values.

3、problem

What are the roles and challenges of religion in a multicultural society in the contemporary era of globalization?

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories.

About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha
