“…It extends the logic of multiple glocalizations into the historical record and proposes four forms of religious glocalization. It offers a concrete application of Herrington's thesis about the ways in which religion has been, in many respects, a driving force and key player in globalization [101].…”

This article advocates a "glocal turn" in the religion-globalization problematic. It proposes a model of multiple glocalizations in order to analyze the historically constituted relationship between world religions and local cultures. First, the conceptual evolution from globalization to glocalization is discussed with special reference to the study of the religion. Second, the necessity for adopting the perspective of the longue durée with regard to the study of Eastern Orthodox Christianity is explained. Third, an outline of four forms of religious glocalization is proposed. Each of these forms is presented both analytically as well as through examples from the history of Eastern Christianity (from the 8th to the 21st century). It is argued that this approach offers a model for analyzing the relation between religion, culture and society that does not succumb to the Western bias inherent in the conventional narrative of western modernization and secularization.

“…Millions of people go about their daily lives without even thinking about happiness. Especially in today's fast-paced world of globalization through a process known as homogenization (Herrington, 2013), people are programmed to live and communicate in the environment.…”

In this article authors are analyzing questions "What is a person? Where and how was man created? How can a human become a real person?" Questions like these cannot be left unanswered by all humanity. Such philosophical ideas have been relevant since ancient times and are still relevant today. It is impossible to imagine the universe without humankind, nor can a human ask for life without the universe and the environment around it. These two concepts are inseparably linked together, as for the concept of "human", it is known all over the world, because the mythological statement "Adam and Eve" is well known in connection with the emergence of humanity on earth. The social significance and importance in this study based on the topic relevance concepts "man" and "the universe", and their relationship, which are the main components of life on the earth. Moreover, today modern challenges pose big problems for society in the world, and the main task is to remain as human and preserve peace on the earth. The main research purpose is to analyze etymological attributes and structure of the concept "Man"; origin and meanings with characteristics in various characteristics properties belonging to humankind in general.

“…In the new troping of home and the (religious) world and diasporic spaces, much appears to depend on the resonances of religious and cultural practices. Religious actors have also been vital agents of globalisation (see Herrington 2013), carrying their religious ideas and ideologies and practices across far reaches of the world. They have ridden the mobilities' wave, to 'shrink' their religious world through transnational and diasporic relocations.…”

Globalisation and post-colonialism have created new religio-cultural geographies and articulations in many countries. Many aspects of Hindu religion have been transnationally stretched and (re)enacted within new migrant and diasporic spaces, in turn reshaping and somewhat changing how ritual and religious enactments come to be enunciated. This article focuses on the yajna as a plastic and symbolic resource that is enacted in a transnational context and within new idioms and vocabularies of religious expression. The article engages with Lubin's (2001) thesis that the 'public' and visible aspect of yajna functions as a civic 'spectacle' and probes the performance element of this so-called 'spectacle', and looks at how it becomes re-ritualised and re-enacted to fit the contemporary needs of transnational and diasporic Hindu communities.
