ABSTRACT
We are living in the global era in which our lives are closely intertwined with each another. Our environment, economy, welfare, security, and future are closely interconnected. Although many people feel that globalization is a recent phenomenon, various forms of it have been with us for thousands of years. Two types of globalization can be identified in terms of its nature, process, and goal: unilateral and enlightened globalization. Unilateral globalization is based on the belief in the superiority of its own culture, values, and ideals and imposition of a single standard on all cultures. Historically, the unilateral globalization has been the typical mode, with one culture dominating and subjugating other cultures.
