Group Work 2: New Religious Movements
Voodoo/Vodou is an often-misunderstood religion that has historically been demonized by Judeo-Christian countries. This demonization persists in contemporary times. But new understandings of this new religious movement are being told, as can be seen in the assigned textbook reading on Vodou, and by watching both the documentary titled, “Divine Horsemen” and the video, “How “Voodoo” Became a Metaphor for Evil,” on the topic.
To successfully complete this group work, please read and view the above-mentioned resources and answer the following questions:
- How do these representations differ from the realities of the practitioners? (1-2 paragraphs)
Please make sure to cite your selected primary text as well as the textbook where needed using MLA formatting.
In addition to this write-up, you must also have an accompanying visual presentation, of which images are cited (usually using weblinks on the page the image is used; if these are personal images such as photos, include the photographer’s name, place and date of photograph).
Finally, please be sure to complete the Self-Assessment, a template of which can be found in the “Assignment Instructions” module. This Self-Assessment should be in Times New Roman 12 font but can be single or double-spaced. Please note: this group work is not considered complete if there is no Self-Assessment.
