The global culture against religious fundamentalism
1. Introduction
In recent years, the problem of religious fundamentalism has become more acute. This is due to the fact that globalization has led to the spread of extremist views and the growth of terrorist activity.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that religious fundamentalism is a barrier to the development of global culture. Fyodor Dostoevsky once said: “Love all God’s creation, the whole and every grain of sand in it. Love every leaf, every ray of God’s light. Love the beasts, love the birds, love the reptiles. above all, love each other”. But how can we love each other if we do not understand and accept each other’s cultures and religions?
2. The global culture against religious fundamentalism
2.1 The development of communicational technologies
The solution to the problem of religious fundamentalism lies in the development of global culture. And this, in turn, is possible through the development of communicational technologies. The Internet, social networks, and mobile phones have become powerful tools for the spread of information and culture. They have broken down barriers between people and nations and made communication between them easier than ever before.
2. 2 Globalized communication and culture
Globalization has led to the emergence of a new type of communication – globalized communication. It is based on the free flow of information and ideas around the world. And it is this type of communication that is necessary for the development of global culture.
Global culture is a culture that does not belong to any one nation or people, but is shared by all humanity. It is a culture that is based on understanding, tolerance, and respect for different cultures and religions. It is a culture that rejects extremism and violence in all forms.
The tennis players Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are good examples of global culture. They come from different countries – Spain and Switzerland – but they are friends who respect each other’s cultures and values. They are united by their love for tennis and their desire to promote peace and understanding between peoples.
Iraq is another example of global culture in action. Despite the fact that Iraq is a country with a predominantly Muslim population, its Constitution guarantees freedom of religion for all citizens. Christians, Yazidis, Mandaeans, Shabaks, Turkmens, Kakeis, Sabians – all have equal rights in Iraq. This is an example of how different cultures can live together in peace and harmony.
3. Conclusion
It is necessary to developglobal culture in order to eliminate religious fundamentalism. Globalized communication and culture can break down barriers between peoples and create conditions for understanding and tolerance.
