Politics And Religion Are Technologies

Noah Feldman makes a searing case that both politics and religion — whatever their differences — are similar technologies, designed to efficiently connect and manage any group of people.




MY COMMENTS************************************************************


This particular video which connects to our Political Science discipline shows that there is a definite connection to politics and religion. Basically the systems or technologies are used in a similar fashion by both the government and religious institutions and they primarily connect people more fluently to whatever calls. Managing responses, influencing people or bringing them together, it is, religion or government, a tool for the modern age, or any age.


In a way I thought that this topic would be similar to my Interdisciplinary Project, "Money and Religion and Corruption Within" but not necessarily. This video more shapes the church as a tool whereas my idea comes from what the tool has allowed or done in its history. I stated the church has a weakness in it and I would also say the government as well. This shows that both institutions are modern day tools, or tools in any age, that more better connect to individuals under its control.
