  6. CHALLENGES FOR BIBLICAL SHALOMLIVING Values of the Global Empire in the 21st Century Extreme IndividualismThis is the most emphasized modern cultural value being communicated in the big media, causing the family and community to be disintegrated. Practical MaterialismMany families may be religious during Sunday mornings, but practicing materialists during most of the week, influenced more by commercial advertisements and greed-oriented consumerism than by biblical principles, biblical ethics, and biblical morality. A Culture of Violence and WarA belief system that human conflicts and differences are ultimately resolved by the useof force; thus, justifying personal, domesticsocial, and political violence. A Mechanistic View of PeopleIn opposition to the biblical view of people, a mechanistic view treats humans and the creation as machine-projects rather than living organisms who are also story-subjects. Thus, the family, the church and the community is seen as an organization to be fixed rather than an organism to be healed. PEACE THEOLOGY 101
