Answer 1

1]  I suggest if religion becomes more powerful than globalization will be risky. Globalization allows for religions previously isolated from one another to now have regular and unavoidable contact. As a result, globalization brings to the light the fact that since religions have similar values, not one of them is “correct” and, therefore, can be changed.  the relationship between globalization and religion is one with new possibilities and furthering challenges. On the one hand, while religion takes advantage of communication and transportation technology, it is at the same time the source of globalization’s greatest resistance by acting as a haven for those standing in opposition to its power. On the other hand, because globalization allows for daily contact, religion enters a circle of conflict in which religions become “more self-conscious of themselves as being world religions.

2] A person may base a number of life choices on religious views, but when aspects of a person's life conflict with religious ideals, it may be difficult to reconcile the two, and doubt and distress may result.

When a person is challenged by religious beliefs, finds that they lead to uncharacteristic actions, or experiences mental distress as a result of internal doubt or external persecution, the support of a therapist or other mental health professional may be recommended. Spirituality may consist of looser beliefs or practices than organized religion, though it may also involve meditation, yoga, dance, and so on. Religion is often more formalized, and individuals who are religious typically identify themselves as belonging to a certain faith or subscribing to a particular set of beliefs.

3] Essentially, the world's leading religious traditions which are Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam teach values such as human dignity, equality, freedom, peace, and solidarity. More specifically, religions maintain the Golden Rule: “what you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to others. Therefore, through such religious values, globalization engenders greater religious tolerance in such areas as politics, economics, and society. Religious communities such as the Roman Catholic Church, the World Council of Churches, and the Jewish Diaspora also take part in international affairs. For instance, they have taken part in events such the Jubilee 2000, an international effort advocating for cancelling Third World debt by the year 2000, and the World Faiths Development Dialogue, an effort of international faith leaders along with the World Bank to support development agendas corresponding to the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. Furthermore, religious organizations have, themselves, been involved in interreligious dialogue. The Parliament of the World’s Religions of 1993, first conveyed during the 1893 Chicago World Exhibit, brought the world’s diverse faith traditions from African indigenous religions, the major religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), to any forms of faith that would agree to civil dialogue through mutual encounter to use their similar values and discuss world affairs.
