Examples:

the poor” is a powerful message of mobilization
but lacks substance when it comes to working out
a replacement system that can change the poor’s
condition in concrete ways.
2. The terrorism of ISIS in Iran is unlikely to create
a government ruled by justice and stability.
Secularization Theory
It is the thesis that modernization will
erode religious practice.
• One reason for this perspective is the association
of globalization with modernization, which is
the concept of progress that is based on science,
technology, reason, and the law.
