Essay questions: Choose one major global crisis studied in this course—such as post-WW2 order and global affairs, identity and intercultural communication, refugee and migrant issues, poverty and development, the climate crisis, human trafficking, or religious conflict and peacebuilding—and analyze how it functions within the global context. How do theological frameworks (creation, fall, redemption, reconciliation) help Christians interpret the crisis, and what forms of faithful response emerge from this perspective? To what extent can Christian communities and global institutions (e.g., the UN system, inter-religious networks, NGOs) work together to address complex global crises discussed during the course? Evaluate both the possibilities and the limitations of such cooperation, drawing on course readings, case studies, and intercultural communication principles. How do identity, power, and vulnerability intersect across contemporary global crises such as forced migration, racialized conflict, and ecological degradation? Drawing on course readings (e.g., Fanon, Hall, Strange Virtues) and theological resources, propose how Christian communities can cultivate practices of reconciliation, justice, and hospitality in response to these overlapping challenges.
