Giddens - globalisation creates insecurity and doubt, due to its often conflicting and cnfusing messages. Fundamentalism in contrast offers a simple and reliable world view.
Fundametalism is the literal interpretation of the sacred text and gives a srtict set of rules to live by. Fundamentalist groups fervently follow their beliefs.
The New Christian Right argues that American society is in a state of decline and a moral crisis. They argue that this is caused by liberal reforms such as, easy divorce, legalised arbortion and gay rights etc.
The New Christian Right oppose the teaching of evolution in schools because it disagrees with the fundamentalist interpretation of the bible.
However, the New Christian Right promote their ideas through mass communications such as the media and TV, which has been developed as a result of modern society and globalisation.
