This week's assignment is a bit late to post. For that reason, you will have until Tuesday, November 22 to complete it.
Read Chapter 11 (Religion) and the following articles:
The Adaptive Value of Religious Ritual
The Secret of Haiti's Living Dead
Discussion Question:
Religion is generally a conservative force in society (this does not mean politically conservative). That is, most times it supports the status quo. How does it do that? Provide examples from the readings and/or from your own experiences. Can you think of any examples where religion has been a radical force, that is trying to change society?
