As we all know, nowadays our world is in globalization era. We often hear it. However, what
is globalization? Globalization is the process of transformation of local or regional phenomena into
global or international phenomena. This process includes transformation of economic, technological,
socio-cultural and political forces. In other words, every country in this world can influence other
countries. Because of globalization, this world which consists of many countries is like “a global
village”. This term refers to the fact that people are considered to live in this planet without borders
dan without limitation. People are able to access any kinds of information easily. There is no
difficulty to communicate and there is no barrier to interact with other people from all over the world.
Globalization has various aspects which affect the world, such as: in industry, finance,
economy, politics, technology, and socio-culture. If our country wants to survive in this globalization
era, we must be smart. We should take all of the positive effects of globalization but not the negative
ones. For example: we need to adopt and learn high technology from developed country in order to
develop our country. On the contrary, we must not imitate bad attitudes or behaviors from other
countries like free sex and drugs abuse.

It is a fact that there are many challenges in globalization era. It cannot be denied that
globalization is related with a competition and ability to survive. The question is, what should we do
in order to face the globalization era? The first one is, build up and strengthen good characters based
on the religion. If we are Moslem, the guide of our lives is Islam. Second, we must master technology
in order to develop our country. The last, always be ready to face any kinds of change and
competition by preparing and upgrading our skills.

The effect globalization is like two sides of a coin which is never be separated. Globalization
not always brings some benefits. The fact, if we are not strong enough to filter the effect of
globalization, our local identity will vanish from the world. We as young generation of
this country should take this matter seriously. With conserving our traditional cultures and doing good
deeds as they was taught by our religion, we can stand still and survive as a country which never lose
the local identity because of globalization. That’s all my speech. Hopefully, it will be useful for all of
us. Thank you very much for your attention.

Wassalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.
