Abstract: In a world divided by religious differences, science and technology, reason, economic, political and cultural aspects among other differentiating factors, ecumenism is no doubt necessary. It is even more urgent at the universities where the aforementioned differences are evident in comparison to lower levels of learning. Religion is an important pillar of society which can play significant unifying role even at the universities if properly harnessed. Interreligious dialogue that respects the real differences between religions is necessary to clear up misunderstanding that university students from Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu and other religions may have of one another......

The research analyzes the main theoretical approaches to understanding globalization from the critical perspective. It investigates the interactions between globalization and the legal citizenship status of Rohingya people.
