In this segment of Reel Society you learned about some of the ideas that Émile Durkheim and Max Weber developed about religion and its role in society. For Durkheim, religion can be a means of integrating a diverse society and providing social support. For Weber, religion can play an important role in social change. Likewise, the values people learn through their religion can affect how they behave in other spheres of life, such as the economy. Can you see ways in which religion plays these roles for you? Answer these questions, and then see how other students using Reel Society and participating in this poll answered them.
