Abstract

Globalism has replaced the Cold War as the dominant ideology. Along with a shift from East–West tension to ecological concerns has come a change from national to global worries. This article begins by presenting the argument that global thinking is replacing traditional nationalist ideologies. The article then discusses the changes necessary for a shift to an ecologically centered idea and the merits of the Bahá’í Faith’s teachings are examined in light of a transformation to a world-centered mindset. Finally, the article concludes questioning whether the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh fully recognize material prosperity as restricted by the earth’s limited resources.
