Abstract:
Religion and ideologies can play significant roles in promoting the common
good by providing ethical frameworks, guiding moral values, and fostering a sense of
community and solidarity. Here are some ways in which religion and ideologies
contribute to the common good: Moral and Ethical Guidance: Many religions offer
moral and ethical guidelines that encourage individuals to act in ways that benefit the
greater good; Community Building: This sense of community can lead to collective
efforts to address social issues and promote the well-being of all members; Charitable
and Philanthropic Activities: Religious organizations often engage in charitable activities,
providing aid to the less fortunate and contributing to community development.
Church encyclicals play a significant role in shaping the Catholic Church’s
teachings and perspectives on various issues, including social justice. The Quran, the
holy book of Islam, addresses a wide range of topics, including principles related to
social justice. Many verses in the Quran emphasize the importance of fairness,
compassion, and equity in human interactions. Hinduism, one of the oldest religions in
the world, is characterized by a rich diversity of beliefs, practices, and philosophies.
Buddhism, as a spiritual and philosophical tradition, refers to the fair and equitable
distribution of resources, opportunities, and privileges within a society.
My research aims at studying the contributions of different religions for the common
good of humanity.
