Answer:
When a new religion arrives, it always does so with an impact on surrounding cultures. This lesson looks at how religions have changed the cultures that they have bordered in a variety of different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
New religions can have a massive impact on existing cultures. Remember, while culture does unite people, there are a lot of moving parts to just about any culture, and there are always people who may not be happy with their role in an existing culture. Throughout history, the introduction of new religions to an existing cultural area has had a massive impact on the societies in question. However, those impacts are often pretty easy to understand, especially when we look at which segments of society are most impacted. That said, sometimes cultures are so inherently diverse that they are able to swallow up any new competing religions, leaving a hybrid in their wake.
