Answer to Question 2

Durkheim applied the term sacred to those aspects of life that are extraordinary or

supernaturalin other words, those things that are set apart as holy.. People feel a

sense of awe, reverence, deep respect, or fear for that which is considered sacred.

Across cultures and in different eras, many things have been considered sacred,

including invisible gods, spirits, specific animals or trees, altars, crosses, holy books, and

special words or songs that only the initiated could speak or sing. Those things that

people do not set apart as sacred are referred to as profanethe everyday, secular

(worldly) aspects of life. Sacred beliefs are rooted in the holy or supernatural, whereas

secular beliefs have their foundation in scientific knowledge or everyday explanations.
