In your opinion,why is fundamentalism becoming more popular in modern society? Do you agree more with the fundamentalist view or the functionalist view of social change and why?

Answers will vary by student but should include some discussion of the following: Fundamentalists are focused on upholding traditions and maintaining the "true faith" as a defensive reaction to a perceived threat-for example,the moral breakdown of contemporary society.
Fundamentalists do not accept the functionalist view that adaptation is necessary in order to maintain religious integrity;instead,they suggest that accepting change is a compromise that ultimately leads to the surrender of their religious integrity.
