Use of Scripture
Likewise, Kung has no use for authoritative scripture -- it is outdated and too much a part of the past, which Kung wishes to displace in favor of "the future." The future must not be informed by the old prejudices of the past -- it must branch out, like Edwards' ecological theology, encompassing as many faiths and traditions as possible, uniting them all under the roof of the religion of the global ethic. What Kung aims to do, therefore, is reduce the importance of Scripture even more than Edwards does -- to an anthill amongst other anthills, while he himself provides the new doctrine: his doctrine is filled with a list of "we must's" -- the commandments of Kung -- the voice of the new revolution.
Religious Symbol
Neither does Kung promote any new religious symbol -- his symbol is merely the symbol of revolution -- of future promised happiness: of liberty, fraternity, equality. The symbol is...
Kung's symbol is unity: "Together we can move mountains!" (p. 36). It is no longer through faith in Christ that one can move mountains -- it is now through mere unity. It is a romantic plea for universal brotherhood -- but a brotherhood founded on nothing particularly supernatural: a brotherhood founded on nothing particularly religious: a brotherhood founded simply on a new universal ethic -- an ethic derived from Romantic/Enlightenment doctrine.

260). This cosmological discussion is one reason Origen is said to have "created, indeed embodied, the first model of a scientific theology;" his approach to the notion of metempsychosis, like nearly all of his theological work, is rooted in a steadfast determination to distinguish "between the dogmata of the church tradition and the problemata which were to be discussed" according to reason, logic, and a prototype of the scientific
Representation of Asian Women: American Television Sitcoms and Media Introduction American Asian women exist within a culture that is at times resistant at providing a realistic portrait of what an Oriental woman is and how she expresses herself. This can be seen in personalities like Margaret Cho, whose sitcom, All-American Girl forced her to see the reality of how America perceived Asian American women and Oriental people in general. These negative images,
They goal for globalization is to increase material wealth and the distribution of goods and services through a more international division of labor and then, in turn, a process in which regional cultures integrate through communication, transportation and trade. The overall theory is that if countries are tied together cooperatively economically, they will not have needed to become political enemies (Smith 2007). Notice the continuum here -- globalization, like
Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Ethics Abstract/Introduction -- No one can argue that the international business community is becoming more and more complex as a result of globalism.

British Telecom, for instance, noted in 2007 that it had reduced its carbon footprint by 60% since 1996, setting
