Religion and Globalization - Approaches, Interpretations, Perspectives.
Generally, discussions of globalization are concerned with its political, economic and military dimensions, and little attention to its religious aspect. Although they claim to share a common concern, believers of different religions, through their concern, tend to deepen existing problems rather than offer solutions, given their different responses to which we classify them in different categories from the point of view of ideological, ambivalent, integrative, exclusive or imitative. The term globalization ”refers to the expansion and intensification of social relations and a single human consciousness across the time and space of the world.” In theory, it allows people to transcend traditional political, economic and geographical boundaries and at the same time exposes them to a new social order.
