The Issue of Religion and Social Security in ASEAN
Bach Tuyet Thi Nguyen
Abstract
Discussing the issue of Religion and Social Security in ASEAN, the author believes that religion, with its function inclined to good and tolerance, can play a proactive role in reducing regional disturbances. In the spirit of unity and building a peaceful world together, religions relentlessly perform their role in safeguarding social security, sharing values of compassion and tolerance. The best way for social harmony and security, in her opinion, is through dialogues for sharing information and understanding each other in seeking appropriate solutions before possible occurrences of intolerant behaviors or activities.
