NEW GLOBAL ETHIC IN NIGERIA: IMPACT AND RESISTANCE
Globalization has been a force of change in the last two decades, transforming economies and nations and at the same time affecting cultures and shaping practices. Owing to globalization, boundaries are no longer insurmountable limitations but at the same time, everyone is now subjected to some adverse consequences of a global culture. Hence, it is pertinent to talk about global ethics and its implication for Christian living. The Church exists in the world but is not of the world. Christians are called to imitate Christ or conform their whole being to Christ. This has become a herculean task in a world that seeks uniformity and at a time when celebrities and pop stars dictate acceptable practices. The situation is even dire for countries in the developing world characterized by slow development, political turmoil, and international subjugation that make them to be perpetually dependent on others in the areas of policies, and access to the benefits of modern life. This paper, therefore, sets out to highlights the challenges of Christian living in a globalized and pluralistic world and the hope that Christian values offer to the world impacted by unbelief and religious indifference.
