The quest for the standardization of global values and the application of the fundamental moral values in personal beliefs can be attained by harmonizing the values of the various religions in the world. The themes of human freedom and justice in the society are present in the teachings covered by the scriptures in different religions. The different religions can work together to save humanity from the adverse effects of the globalization concept.
The global society needs to develop binding values that foster goodness among the entire population. According to the Catholic Social Teaching, participation among the people in the community is one of the themes that should be pursued by individuals. The different religions should have their respective congregations taking part actively in the delivery of justice through their advocacy for rights and responsibilities. Human dignity should be protected through the efforts of religious leaders in different religious groups, and their followers.
Different religious groups have different religious values, but they have mutual agreements on the social values that should be portrayed by individuals. For instance, all religions emphasize on the attainment of the common good for the entire population. These values are emphasized by the religious scriptures, and the followers are obliged to meet the demands of their religious teachings. Islam and Christianity share common interests in social justice.
The two religions are also against the secularization of their beliefs; hence, the religious groups in the current world are facing similar challenges. This mutual problem indicates that the members of the religions must integrate their efforts to fight against social injustices, politicizing of religion, and moral degradation in the global society. In the view of globalization, most of the religions of the world have attained parallelism in their core beliefs about the society and how individuals should conduct their lives.
According to the CST, God is portrayed as the liberator of the poor and oppressed in the society, but he does so through his people. In most social settings, the rich and the poor are treated differently, but before the eyes of God, the CST and the Holy Scripture indicate that all humans should be equal. The Catholic Social Teaching reveals that the poor should be helped by the rest of the community unconditionally.
Humans have the obligation to care about God’s creations by ensuring there is fair treatment for humans and animals, and they should also emphasize on environmental sustainability. Humans form kingdoms in which there are sections of the society that are oppressed and dominated. It is the obligation of the religious leaders of the society to ensure that the oppressed and dominated are liberated from their miseries. In the current world, the principles of capitalism have taken effect on the global economy, and their results are the development of inequality. The poor should be helped to liberate themselves from their oppressed status.
Poverty is propagated by greed and exploitation of some of the individuals in the society. Political leaders are the main instigators of this behavior, and they should be compelled to uphold the values shared by various religions with respect to equality. The CST indicates that Christians must be concerned about the wellness status of everybody in the society. They are charged with the responsibility of ensuring the leaders in the society uphold their responsibility to protect the fundamental rights of the poor.
