Document Summary
The contrast between science and religion has been a prominent topic among many in current society. Its prevalence has increased as diversity continues to grow, individuals of society are exposed to various personal beliefs and traditions. However, although exposure to another individual"s beliefs proves to be an educational experience, conflict can arise as there is no final. Truth between the opposition of science and religion. This issue can be examined by the symbolic-interaction perspective as it amplifies that society is the output of how different individuals interact with one another (ref. textbook p. 18). This can be an immense contradiction within this topic as one"s perception of reality is based on their views of religion and science however both components are essentially encompassed in their sole identity. For example, galileo discussed his struggle as his scientific findings challenged the beliefs of the roman catholic, this in result caused strife within the society of his time (ref. textbook p. 497).
