Chapter 5: Living Justice From Thomas Massaro/Chapter 21


Part one talks about the dignity of every person and human rights. This means that the catholic social teachings had a key component of “all humans are made in the image and likeness of God”. That every person was from God creation therefore he loves everyone. Since all human beings reflect God in some way they should be treated with the most respect and dignity. It also states that we all deserve the care and attention that rightful belongs to us. But in this society today attention and care aren’t always there for people and some people get more. In part seven: Colonialism and Economic Development, talks about how the world is so unfair and suffer serious and unfair disadvantages. It also talks about what we can do to attack those problems of unfair advantages like stopping the temptations of selfishness and isolation and think not only of ourselves but about everyone else when making decisions.
Chapter 21: The Collapse and Recovery
The “Great War” is known for World War 1. I was surprised to read that this great war many people of that time period thought it would be the last of wars. But sadly it wasn’t which was followed by World War 2, Vietnam War, Cold War, and many other wars. With alliances the world will probably stay having wars. In the early twentieth century there was two alliances: the triple alliance: Germany, Austria, and Italy and then the triple entente was Russia, France, and Britain. I think there will always be war because just like in today’s society if our friends get into a fight with another girl we would most likely stick up for our friends then the other girl which is just like these countries.
