Nest turn your attention to our class discussion regarding the three key characteristics of religion we are focusing on. As previously stated we see religion as (1) based on a specific notion of transcendence or the divine, (2) this creates a set of myths that establish key truths or belief they seek to live by, and (3) these beliefs are lived out through a set of connected cultural practices also described as rituals. This week you are asked to describe what messages about notions of transcendence, beliefs and practice are featured in your memes.
Your analysis should address at least 3 following questions.
- What seems to be the central understanding of this religion or where to members seem to derive their meaning?
- What messages do your memes communicate about the belief system you are studying?
-Which specific beliefs and/or practices are highlighted?
-Why do you think these are being emphasized?
-What kind of humor is used in these memes and how does that influence the framing of religion in your memes?
After sharing your detailed response to these questions please sum up your analysis of how religion you see is being presented in your case study in general in one or two sentences.
