1HUMANITARIAN ISSUEThe world has faced severe humanitarian crisis since the end of the Second World War. Itcreated drastic changes in the political, economic and social conditions in the four countrieswhich included- Syria, Sudan, South Somalia and Yemen (Morgan, Bapat & Kobayashi, 2014).In this regard, it is noteworthy to mention here that without effective collaboration andcoordinated global efforts the prevailing conditions would exist in future and will bring mishapsto the inhabitants. In my point of view the principle of common good was greatly contradicted asa result of the ongoing conflict which is the current issue of concern to the nations. In this regardit is worth mentioning that the security and the well being of the inhabitants are in stake whichlargely negated the principles of common good. In this regard, my beliefs and ideas about theprinciples of common good have been emphasized in order to provide deeper meaning towardsthe attainment of common good. The lives of the individuals are greatly influenced by theprinciples of justice which is deeply ingrained in social relationships (McGoldrick, 2014). In thisregard, it is noteworthy to mention here that one can progress towards the attainment of commongood through coordination, citizenship, collection action as well as active cooperation in publicservice (Cremers, 2017). However, at the end of the Second World War, great crisis wereinfluenced by the inhabitants. The nations witnessed the death of over one million children due to disease and starvationwhich was as a result of the struggle for existence. According to my perspective, with the end ofthe Second World War, the economic and social conditions of these countries have undergonedrastic changes and in order to improve their conditions there should have been coordinatedefforts both locally and globally. The local civilians made efforts to improve the conditionhowever without global assistance the social and economic conditions cannot be restored.Therefore, it can be rightly stated that the principle of common good has been challenged both

2HUMANITARIAN ISSUElocally and globally as the nations failed to provide active participation and cooperation inaddressing the issues faced by the countries in distress during crisis.In order to address the challenges of common good related to support within groups andcommunities as a means of effective advocacy various important factors can be emphasized. Inmy perspective, it is important that the government agencies must encourage active participationof groups across geographical boundaries for the purpose of funding and developing communityprojects. It is necessary on the part of the government agencies to determine the areas that havebeen largely affected as a result of war. It is essential to provide effective advocacy in order toundermine their interests and well being. In this regard the fifth principle of CST can be appliedwhich is the role of the Government and Subsidiary. According to this principle the motive of thestate is to protect human dignity in order to achieve common good. However, the functions of thegovernment are held by the principle of subsidiary. The second principle of CST which isattainment of Common Good and Community can be significantly applied in order to addresssuch challenges. With the help of this principle the rights incorporated in relationship betweenhuman communities can be realized (Bane, 2014). In order to contribute to the betterment of thesociety and the community it is important to have love and feeling of togetherness for theneighbors (Sekerák, 2016). Such factors contribute to the attainment of common good.. In order to address the challenges related to exposure to hazards, a different approach ofadvocacy can be involved. In this approach there can be an involvement of both socialconnectedness and a sense of moral efficacy. In this regard, the fourth and fifth principles of CSTcan be applied which are- Rights and Responsibilities and Role of the Government andSubsidiary. According to these principles of CST human dignity can be protected and healthycommunity can be attainted when responsibilities are shared among each other (McCann, 2014).
