Document Summary
Picture of the prophet created a lot of tension between different cultures. Different culture viewed the significance of the picture differently. Secularization theory - religion on decline, people are finding new secular/rational ways to make sense of their lives. Basically means that religion is going down as world is becoming more scientific. data suggests otherwise: 92% of americans believe in god or higher power - religion seem to be growing across the globe rather then going down. Interpretive model: models for making sense of cultural diversity around us. Universalism: people largely same; cultural difference superficial. For example people may say tomato differently but we are referring to the same things. Variability in language: closer examination of language show that they do have much in common specially the universality of grammar universal grammar that"s evident in all languages. Analysis of this new language shows similarity in grammar and syntax to other language thus suggesting universality.
