Globalization and Invasion in Religious Values

Öz

Globalisin is an emerging sensibility of our post-modern, post-industrial era. It is the determining characteristics of world affairs in an integrated global marketplace whose lingua if anca is the language of the Internet. Within this emerging power the world’s greater and lesser political entities (countries, city-states), religions and traditions now meet in the large, but also in the small of interpersonal acts and interactions in many regions and most cities of the world. Through developments in communication we now form an increasingly cosmopolitan population which meets frequently in actual interaction and in the global virtual reality. Within this context the world’s greatest gathering traditions and ideas are exchanging and changing. West meets East as South affects North. Western (Judeo-Christian-Islamic), Confucian, Buddhistic, Amerindian, African concepts express themselves in politics, in ecology, in economics, in intellectual exchanges and critiques which affect us in myriad ways. In some contexts these ideas expand and enlarge all our thinking. In others, they seem to conflict and compete as each of the large traditions. With its advantages and drawback this process is still pregnant for the future. It is beyond doubt that this process is mostly challenging for the traditional religions (not for New Age ones), as the space, time, unified people they were accustomed to addressing in the ongoing process to date are now under many attacks and they have to develop new means of protecting their adherens on the one hand and of developing them on the other
