The Fifth Responsibility : A Vision for Global Peace & Prosperity

The world’s resources are more than sufficient to ensure prosperity and happiness for everyone-through food, facilities, and skilled professionals. Yet, people continue to suffer. Access to these resources requires honest distribution, which is only possible when society prioritizes the Fifth Responsibility. This book presents a compelling argument for shifting from isolated acts of goodness to a systemic approach that guarantees fairness, justice, and prosperity for all human beings in the world. The concept of the Fifth Responsibility-creating an environment where goodness flourishes continuously-challenges religious and moral followers to rethink their role in society. Religious teachings, ethical values, and moral principles have always emphasized Nobleness, kindness, and justice. Yet, crime, corruption, poverty, and injustice persist. Why? The answer lies in the neglect of the Fifth Responsibility-the duty to create an environment where humanity thrives, and resources are fairly distributed. While individual acts of goodness exist, society lacks a structured system to sustain justice and fairness for future generations.
