This essay will be addressing religion and diffusion. I am going to explain the difference between ethnic religions and universalizing religions. Also between expansion diffusion and relocation diffusion.

Universalizing religions strive to be global, appealing to people from all cultures and locations around the world. An ethnic religion is one that refers to a specific community of people who live in a specific place. Religion B belongs to Universal because Universal religions are made up of people from several different ethnic backgrounds and they convert and welcome people from all around the world and are not bound to a specific region. Religion E belongs to an ethnic religions because ethnic religions do not try to appeal to everyone; rather, they appeal to a certain group of people, whether it be in a single location or ethnicity.

The spread of an idea or innovation by physical movement is known as relocation diffusion, while the spread of an idea or innovation through a snowball effect is known as expansion diffusion. Although spreading to new areas, developments have remained strong in their original locations. Islam, for example, has spread across the world while remaining high in the Middle East, where it originated. There are two forms of expansion diffusion, contagious and Hierarchical.

The spread of AIDS prevention, disease transmission, and internet use are all examples of contagious diffusion. Hierarchical diffusion can be when a celebrity begins a fashion trend and the trend slowly becomes common in the United States. Hierarchical diffusion typically begins in large metropolitan areas such as New York City and Los Angeles, then expands to smaller cities/suburbs, and finally to rural areas.

Religion A is most likely contagious diffusion. This is because it has spread to people from all cultures and locations around the world. Religion C is most likely an Hierarchical diffusion because it is not spreading around the world, it is staying in one area and not spreading around the world.  

Universalizing religions strive to be global, appealing to people from all cultures and locations around the world. An ethnic religion is one that refers to a specific community of people who live in a specific place. Religion B belongs to Universal because Universal religions are made up of people from several different ethnic backgrounds and they convert and welcome people from all around the world and are not bound to a specific region. Religion E belongs to an ethnic religions because ethnic religions do not try to appeal to everyone; rather, they appeal to a certain group of people, whether it be in a single location or ethnicity.
