GLOBALIZATION OF RELIGION
Religion became an integral part of colonization and later on globalization. Religion has
been a major feature in some historical conflicts and the most recent wave of modern terrorism.
1. The moral principles and values contained in the teachings of great religious teachers
are essential factors for the reduction of and ultimate eradication of greed, hatred and
delusion – which form the root cause of conflicts and wars.
2. Religion inspires and guides people and also provides them with the necessary tools to
reduce greed with the practice of charity; to overcome hate and aversion with loving
kindness; and to remove ignorance with the development of wisdom and insight.
Negative Aspects:
1. Madness of some so-called religionists who try to convert and win followers
2. Misinterpretations of scriptural texts
3. Religious persecutions, inquisitions and “holy wars”
GLOBAL POPULATION AND MOBILITY
World Population
Global Mobility/Migration
- the flow or movement of people from one place to another around the world. The main
purpose of migration is to find work or employment.
1. Socio-political, economic and ecological factors are the main forces driving migration.
2. Rising communal violence world-wide, often as a result of ethnic or religious intolerance,
has led to increased levels of migration.
3. Economic disparity between developing and developed economies encourages the
movement of skilled labor from the former to the latter. Temporary migration visas allow
for an increase in the rate of circular migration.
4. Changes in the ecological environment have the potential to worsen food and water
insecurity in various parts of the globe. Limited access to food and water resources may
push people to migrate to countries where these resources are more readily available.
Companies need a global workforce and global mobility for the following reasons:
