Revealing values in our global world
Lately, there has been a lot happening in our global world. The media kept us updated about each event. Politically triggered revolutions in Northern African countries, a vast nuclear tragedy in Japan – all of these events are reported live to our living rooms as soon as we turn on the TV. In addition, they are broadcasted in the Internet, via Facebook and so on. We learn much about the events and actions, but often misunderstand much about the hidden values of the protagonists or persons affected. Luckily, there was some ‘good’ news too, and some actions and values, which seem easy to understand: love and marriage. So, we could spot an everlasting belief in romance when we looked to London at the end of April 2011 and watched Prince William getting married to Kate Middleton. Or, let us take a look at Rome, Italy, but watch out, we are not going to talk about Berlusconi’s values here. May 1st, former Pope John Paul II was beatified. After beatification, the blessed one can be publicly adored. Beatification is a strong value in the Catholic Church. So within – or even despite – our modern world of fast communication tracks, iphones, Internet and Facebook, some somewhat older traditions, values and actions are still at work too.
