In our contemporary, modern and global context, theology most concretely understood is a critical reflection on historical practice. This definition underlines human action (praxis) as the starting point of every reflection and as a determining factor in our encounter with the Lord and with other human beings. Our actions in history (past, present, and future) must shape our theological reflection and understanding. Today's society has many problems such as poverty which causes numerous members of society to seek solutions to these problems. A common way that people in today's society use as a solution to solve the problem of poverty is to give money to those who are subjected to this lifestyle. The problem with this solution is that many of these people don't see the logical flaw that is bottled up in this answer to the problem. They don't realize that they are not attacking the root causes of what caused poverty. The root causes of poverty are caused by the political, economic, social and cultural structures that have been in place for the last 500 years that have created a new way of thinking about life and a new God to accompany this way of life. First of all, this new way of living makes the human being more of a selfish being. It causes people to strive for more personal goals, success and prosperity that benefit people as individuals and not as an entire community. To achieve these personal goals and reach a “high” level of success, the person must strive for large sums of money. The amount of money a person holds is used to judge his success and value in society. This is where the new God comes in. The new God is the god of matter. Society uses this ideal of... middle of paper... the person must enter into the experience of poverty. Entering the experience of poverty means understanding what a person living in poverty goes through on a daily basis, such as alienation from the rest of society. Second, they must understand the economic situation of the poor. This person must understand what it feels like to barely make it in a society that is driven to focus on an idea of ​​success and prosperity. Finally, they must understand the spirituality (Vocatio) of theology. To understand this Vocatio the person must change social class and live the path of poverty. To move beyond these ideas that have corrupted our society, we must see that we cannot look for the answer to our conflict in the ideas that caused it. We must embrace new ideas by understanding the human experience throughout history and embracing the mystery of God.
