Literature review
Globalization is a big problem and this is an interesting object to find out. Through the word wide web http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalization we can get a clear definition of globalization and a lot of information about globalization. It refers to the increasing unification of the world's economic order through reduction of such barriers to international trade as tariffs, export fees, and import quotas. The first time the word globalization was used be in a publication entitled Towards New Education in 1930, to show the comprehensive view about the experiences in education. This term was used popularly in economic field and in the newspapers by the later half of the 1980s. The United Nations ESCWA says globalization "is a widelyused term that can be defined in a number of different ways. Tom G. Palmer of the Cato Institute defines globalization as "the diminution or elimination of state-enforced restrictions on exchanges across borders and the increasingly integrated and complex global system of production and exchange that has emerged as a result." Thomas L. Friedman has examined the impact of the "flattening" of the world, and argues that globalized trade, outsourcing, supply-chaining, and political forces have changed the world permanently, for both better and worse. The finally, Takis Fotopoulos argues that globalization is the result of systemic trends manifesting the market economy's grow-ordie dynamic, following the rapid expansion of transnational corporations. Basing on Takis Fotopoulos, globalization is worldwide homogenisation of culture that also consists of ideological globalization; technological globalization; social globalization. There are various definitions so that also contains many opposite views of the globalization effect. Some people believe that globalization can give people more advantages while others oppose this argument. They argue that globalization bring to poorer countries suffering disadvantages, the exploitation of foreign impoverished workers, the shift to outsourcing. Podobnik states that "the vast majority of groups that participate in these protests draw on international networks of support, and they generally call for forms of globalization that enhance democratic representation, human rights, and egalitarianism. Joseph Stiglitz and Andrew Charlton write The anti-globalization movement developed in opposition to the perceived negative aspects of globalization. The term 'anti-

globalization' is in many ways a misnomer, since the group represents a wide range of interests and issues and many of the people involved in the anti-globalization movement do support closer ties between the various peoples and cultures of the world through, for example, aid, assistance for refugees, and global environmental issues. Comparing many views and through the studying, this report will summarize the general about the effect of globalization. References:
