                  1. Require a little commitment from its members
                  2. World Accommodating

                  3. NEW AGE MOVEMENTS
                    1. Reasons for the growth in New Age Movements
                      1. Marginality- (Weber) Marginalised groups in society may feel they are dis-privileged. Sects offer a solution
                        1. Relative deprivation- subjective sense of being deprived. Middle class people are materially well off, however they may feel spiritually deprived. They may therefore break away from churches to form sects.
                          1. Social change- Rapid change disrupts and undermines established norms and values.
                          2. Difference between 'New Religious Movements' and 'New Age Movements'
                            1. EXAMPLES
                              1. Astrology
                                1. Meditation
                              2. The New Age is a spiritual movement. It's about being spiritual rather than religious
                                1. New Religious Movements is often used in place of sects and cults.
