Connecting Conversations: Politics and Religion
In this TedTalk Noah Feldman argues that both religion and politics are a form of technology. Since this talk took place around the beginning of the Iraq war it provides an interesting perspective now, in 2008. As you watch this think about some of the following questions:
- Barack Obama is not a muslim. Why do people who think he is a Muslim find that somethnig that would disqualify him from being President?
- Where do people get these types of beliefs? How does our society find a way to permit such beliefs?
- What does this talk mean in 2008? How is it different from what it meant in 2003?
