Discussion Questions from Monday 2/11/08
What do you think are the primary motivations for fundamentalism?
De Kadt points to similarities in coercive ideologies: rejection of multiple identities, demands for exclusive territory, and feed on other coercive ideologies. If you look a Christian fundamentalism, in what ways is this true or not true?
There seems to be a link between coercive ideologies and fundamentalism. Which comes first? For example, if one looks at the United States, what relationship do you see between fascism (the elevation of corporations to political power) and fundamentalism, and general "conservatism?"
How might rapid social change and failed promises of prosperity be driving fundamentalism in the "developing" world as well as the U.S.?
De Kadt leaves out exploitation as an issue of rising fundamentalism, should it be included?
