they are well integrated in all corners of the earth.

and while I know that a teacher asked you this, or some form of the question, I am disappointed that you have not expounded with your own thoughts hommie.

You're being a bit projective no? I was hoping to spark a discussion. Expound off others thoughts a bit.

100% I thought you were just effing around in the OP doggy lol


there will be some cross-pollination of values in a truly global society for sure --- some belief systems will be watered down, to the point they are no longer differentiated from other systems which are watered down ---- and others will go the reverse direction to 'protect' those systems, and dissociate themselves from that global society and/or distinguish themselves while maintaining the exclusivity of their belief system (think traditional jewish, strict rules 'must marry a jew', or muslim's attire/etc./etc.)


Just like all things, it's just waves goin through the ebbs and flows ---- the more we come together, the more we desire space... the more we assimilate into a group, the more we wish to distinguish ourselves from them.


At some juncture, the only differences that exist between any religion is just our subjective perception shaped by our relative perception of two extremes.... two extremes which we need in order to individuate things and experience this world. even this tangent itself, at some juncture, is a different means to the same end.

all paths up the mountain end with the same point at some point.
