NEWS IN SHORT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • A self-proclaimed 33-year-old tantrik was arrested by Navi Mumbai police in Maharashtra for allegedly cheating a 26-year-old woman of Rs 4.57 lakh under the pretext of performing some “black magic” to make her estranged lover marry her.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Syllabus:\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • The structural-functional approach<\/strong> to religion has its roots in Emile Durkheim\u2019s work on religion. Durkheim argued that religion is, in a sense, the celebration and even (self-) worship of human society.<\/li>\n
    • Durkheim proposed that religion has three major functions in society:<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • it provides social cohesion to help maintain social solidarity through shared rituals and beliefs,<\/li>\n
    • social control to enforce religious-based morals and norms to help maintain conformity and control in society, and<\/li>\n
    • it offers meaning and purpose to answer any existential questions.<\/li>\n
    • Religion, for Durkheim, is not imaginary, although he does deprive it of what many believers find essential. Religion is very real; it is an expression of society itself, and indeed, there is no society that does not have religion.<\/li>\n
    • We perceive as individuals a force greater than ourselves and give that perception a supernatural face. We then express ourselves religiously in groups, which for Durkheim makes the symbolic power greater.<\/li>\n
    • Religion is an expression of our collective consciousness<\/u><\/strong>, which is the fusion of all of our individual consciousness, which then creates a reality of its own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      CRITICISM<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • The primary criticism of the structural-functional approach to religion is that it overlooks religion\u2019s dysfunctions. For instance, religion can be used to justify terrorism and violence.<\/li>\n
      • Religion has often been the justification of, and motivation for, war. In one sense, this still fits the structural-functional approach as it provides social cohesion among the members of one party in a conflict.<\/li>\n
      • For instance, the social cohesion among the members of a terrorist group is high, but in a broader sense, religion is obviously resulting in conflict without questioning its actions against other members of society.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
