Purpose – The paper is aiming to identify and deliniate the content of globalization and the responses of the main world religions facing with the challenges of globalization. Methodology/approach - The present paper is a bibliographical study of globalization from the perspective of the main world religions. Findings – Globalization has major political, economic, social, cultural, religious and environmental implications, some beneficial, others detrimental for a good part of individuals, local communities, regions and nations. Research limitations/implications – The research was limited by the speculative aspect of the approach from the spiritual outlook of Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism. Practical implications – Attracting religion to building a "fair" and pluralistic global society can contribute to a better understanding between the followers of the great world religions, and to the genesis of a new ethos of a global society, beneficial for all stakeholders involved in globalization. Originality/value – The new vision, of a globalization based on competition and not adversity, as main principle of world’s order is opening opportunities to religion in providing an important contribution through its set of moral values and through the material and spiritual perspective on the human being. |
