Wenn in letzter Zeit vom Aufschwung der faith die Rede warfare, dann wurde immer wieder auch auf die state of affairs in Ostmittel- und Osteuropa verwiesen. Inwieweit hält eine solche Behauptung den empirischen Gegebenheiten stand?

Olaf Müller untersucht in seiner Arbeit folgende Fragestellungen: Wie stellte sich die state of affairs im Hinblick auf die Kirchlichkeit und Religiosität der Menschen in den postkommunistischen Ländern unmittelbar nach dem politischen Umbruch dar, und wie hat sich das religiöse Feld seitdem entwickelt? Welche spezifischen Muster und Zusammenhänge lassen sich hierbei erkennen? Und durch welche Faktoren könnte der beobachtete religiöse Wandel bedingt sein? Die Untersuchungen fußen auf einer Fülle von empirischem fabric vor allem auf der foundation internationaler Bevölkerungsumfragen.

Robert E. Park was once a key determine within the improvement of the 'Chicago college' which performed a dominant position within the evolution of yank sociology within the inter-war years. This biographical learn bargains extensive with Park's lifestyles earlier than his appointment to the collage of Chicago in 1913, and investigates the non-public and highbrow impacts that shaped the self sustaining nature and well-stocked brain he dropped at the educational global. A decade of labor as a newspaper reporter and several other years spent at Tuskegee as author and publicist for Booker T. Washington assisted in shaping what have been to develop into the most foci of his sociological pursuits: the fashionable urban and the interplay of its various races and cultures.

Park observed the town because the excellent laboratory for learning the consequences of evolutionary switch on human nature and social association. In either his instructing and his writing his eating curiosity used to be the exam, no longer of associations, yet of such techniques as social interplay, pageant, lodging, and assimilation. He introduced a similar point of view to the learn of race kin, and was once a pioneer within the research of ethnic prejudice as a fabricated from intergroup pageant instead of of innate workforce character.

Park's reverence for the complexity and patience of the approaches he studied susceptible him to a undeniable skepticism concerning the hazard of engineered social swap, and this introduced him lower than assault from more youthful students within the Forties. Professor Matthews indicates right here that Park's tough-minded clash thought of social switch, like his pressure at the social molding of character, has proved to be of better prophetic worth than his detractors admit.
