Environmental movements are continuing to demonstrate their relevance and innovative tendencies in the 21st century. Environmental problems are as yet unresolved in this century, the global environmental crisis exists, but the policies of green parties, which arose from environmental movements, have not yielded adequate results. The paper presents the origins of environmental movements as well as their separation from new social movements. In the context of this separation, the paper explores the stages of development of environmental movements from their inception to the present day and compares the activities of these movements, from protest to pacification and marginalization, through "corporate" eco-movements, to the creation of so-called communal eco communities which could figure as environmental movements in the future. Based on the development of environmental movements so far, their future in this century is considered, as well as new tendencies and trends. In this sense, the subject of analysis are movements such as the "Economy for the Common Good", which aims at not only environmental but also complete social transformation, and current and ad hoc movements such as "Extinction Rebellion" and "Fridays for Future". Special emphasis is placed on offshoots, such as "influencer ecologism", "celebrity ecologism" and "tabloid ecologism", that are presented as initiatives that could possibly create environmental movements in the future.

Futurology is an inherently interdisciplinary field. Anderson and Melnik's essay deals with how likely technological developments will affect both the process and the subject matter of psychotherapy. It is optimistic about the future of psychology as the profession enters a revolution in technological applications as potentially discipline-changing as medicine underwent with the development of antibiotics, high-tech prosthetics and diagnostic tools, and new surgical, life-saving, and life-enhancing techniques. All these innovations will bring new options for treatment, but also new temptations and dangers. This essay adds social, economic, and theological perspectives concerning the proper ethical home for cyber-psychology. While technological developments can benefit individuals, groups, and society, pitfalls include temptations of power, intergroup conflict, and diagnostic creep. Proper preparationfor the future requires encouraging human virtues like altruism and intellect, restraining human flaws like error proneness, ignorance, selfishness, and harmful competition, as well as avoiding the accidental misuse of technology, and mobilizing newfound powers in the service of the common good.

Migration is one of the oldest and most used strategies for overcoming negative social issues. Despite the fact that it is historically deeply rooted, environmental migration as a social phenomenon has only recently become the subject research of numerous scientific fields. However, the study of current environmental migration is characterized by a number of issues, such as absence of an adequate definition and multi-causality of environmental migration. In this paper, through conceptual framework, author analyzed two main questions: who are environmental migrants and what reasons cause environmental migration. Due to the destruction of the global environmental balance, as well as accumulated environmental disturbances, it is likely that environmental migration will increase in future and there is nowhere you cannot make more use of scientific and professional projection of the future than in demographic and environmental spheres of human life. There is no doubt that our future is unpredictable. However, the environmental factors influencing the pattern of human interaction with the environment must be taken into account when projecting future development of the modern society. Such is the context in which the complex relation among migration, change and the environment has to be studied. In order to establish the basis for controlling environmental migration caused by negative changes in the environment, it is necessary to adopt a consistent strategy instead of ad hoc activities that are being used. In this paper, author analyzed societal response for the challenges caused by environmental migration, specifically regarding actions related to governing environmental migrations.

Anti-Muslim emotions are not new for the world. It was present since the rise of Islam. West was furious after facing Muslims in battle ground and constantly defeated by those who were less equipped but obtained high morals. Initially they were frightened due to the novelty and unique approach of faith and its execution, therefore, they try to fabricate the original manuscripts, making false stories and molesting the last prophet’s life history. Islamophobia transformed after 9/11 and become more intensified and dangerous. It effected the common men worldwide without any boundaries. The respective research is based on the fact that hatred is the negative notion whether it related with nobility or wicked perception. It creates harmful effects on human psychology which subsequently created abusive mindset and actions. When any form of ideology identified as phobia means uncontrolled envy combine with the concept and turn it into a form of frenzied connotation. The fight between East and West was ancient which now convert among religions particularly Islam and others. The research is intend to provide the journey of anti-Islamism from past to present as well its significant elements and its present state. It also discusses the future prospects of clash of religions.

ABSTRACTThis article examines the forces that shaped the responses of the urban commons to the Reformation in Augsburg. Developing work by Blickle and others, it considers the extent to which traditional communal ideals were reflected in measures to construct a system of ‘sacral corporatism’. An examination of the attitudes of guildsmen towards communal values and institutions shows variation in their views, even on such basic points as the identification and imposition of the ‘common good’. Case studies show how predominantly poor weavers were attracted to the call to enforce communal principles as a means of defending their status and incomes. To this end they welcomed evangelical teaching, for it provided scriptural and ethical endorsements of corporate action. In contrast, members of the butchers' guild, who were involved in a capital intensive occupation, resisted communal restraints on their freedom to trade and make profits. The butchers' opposition to the Reformation rested more on their rejection of ‘sacral corporatism’, as advocated by reformers in Augsburg, than on support for Catholicism. Augsburg shows the significance of communal values in the urban Reformation, but it demonstrates that these were neither static nor uniformly accepted. On the contrary they were themselves the subject of dispute.

Abstract:Opinion surveys and popular media suggest that American workers are disillusioned with their employers and bosses. Governance in organizations is becoming a recognized problem. Classical works on governance call for more virtuous leaders, less selfish followers, and closer attention to the common good. These works were rejected as a basis for governing nations in the 18th century. They are unlikely to provide a basis for governing organizations in the 21st century. This article outlines a liberal-democratic approach to governing corporations, applies this approach to debates over shareholder-stakeholder accountabilities, and proposes special accountabilities to employees.

AbstractThe nature of a public theology is to concern itself with the common good and the flourishing of all. The subject of climate change is to the forefront of the public agenda. Now and then the level of concern can slip down the opinion polls and it does attract a concerted degree of scepticism. It is nevertheless an issue that can allow us to consider the purpose and practice of a public theology. This article sets out to draw upon the insights of others who have contributed to this issue of the International Journal of Public Theology. It also sets out to place this work inside other discussions on what is a public theology and its intersection with an ecotheology.

It is a fairly widespread conviction that conscience offers not only a yardstick for moral evaluations but constitutes a cognitive faculty that helps one learn something about the world. If so much is true, and, as it seems to be the case with Henryk Jankowski, one is equipped with a socialist conscience, the resulting position is equally informed by certain evaluative and epistemological premises. A conscientious socialist sees the world as a vast terrain of opportunities that can be used to make the world a socially better world. This attitude can be very strong, deep rooted, intransigent and good natured. It may sometimes desensitize its representative to the implications of many facts that are incompatible with his vision of the future, but it can also make him a loyal, ingenious, honest and tireless defender of the common good. An example of Henryk Jankowski is adduced, on the seventieth anniversary of his birth, as a particularly admirable embodiment of the socialistic ideals, motivated by ethical rather than political reasons.

RESUMENLa universidad debería formar estudiantes bien informados, dotados de sentido crítico y comprometidos con la transformación social desde una ética universal basada en la solidaridad y en el bien común. Sin embargo, en la universidad actual predomina una visión utilitarista de la formación. La asignatura Educación para la paz y la igualdad se imparte en los Grados de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria de la Universidad de Valladolid. Su finalidad es contribuir a la formación de personas éticas y comprometidas. En este artículo se analizan la potencialidad y los logros de esa asignatura. Mediante un estudio de caso en el que se utilizan entrevistas, observación no participante, cuestionarios, análisis de documentos y análisis de producciones del alumnado de la asignatura, se evalúa la valoración por parte de los estudiantes y la influencia que ejerce en ellos, así como los aprendizajes que genera. Se constata una mayor sensibilización, una mejora en la comprensión de la realidad global y el descubrimiento de estrategias didácticas para trabajar la paz y la igualdad en la escuela, pero sigue existiendo una actitud pasiva en buena parte del alumnado. Se precisa una educación contra el conformismo y la indiferencia.Palabras Clave: Formación inicial, Compromiso ético, Estudio de caso, Modelos de universidad.ABSTRACTThe university should educate well-informed students, endowed with critical sense and committed to social transformation from a universal ethic based on solidarity and the common good.

The law and morality the interrelation issue has been the subject for many discussions, recent works in the philosophy field and law ethics of renowned authors as H. Hart, L. Fuller and J. Finnis, who contributed significantly to the topic. The key question about the moral content of law is examined within the polemics between theorists of legal positivism and natural law legal theorists. This article touches upon this issue by the example of the concept of John Finnis, one of the most brilliant contemporary law philosophers, his neo-naturalistic concept of natural law includes some ideas of modern positivism. J. Finnis claims natural law appears as a set of principles of practical reasonableness for the ordering of human life and the human community. Law acts as a method to ensure “the common good” of the community and is based on seven self-evident, as he believes the basic human goods necessary for the human flourishing. The requirements of practical reasonableness compose the content of natural law, contain recommendations on how to carry out these self-evident goods. For Finnis, the aim of law is to provide conditions, according to the requirements of practical reasonableness, in which these seven goods can be realized. It is outlined that J. Finnis regards law as a social institute which purpose is to regulate human affairs, and thus to promote the creation of a community where everyone could realize the seven fundamental goods for humankind.
