Globalization is undoubtedly an important constitutive feature of the modern world.

One
of the current interdisciplinary assumptions is that globalization necessarily amounts to the loss
of cultural identity. Philosophers may argue endlessly about this but they can all agree that it
refers to an increasing interconnectedness and convergence of activities and forms of life among
diverse cultures throughout the world.
Socio-cultural, Economic and Political Issues on Globalization.
1. Socio-cultural Issues
Globalization and massive migration are changing the way we experience national identities and
cultural belonging. Globalization decisively unmakes the coherence that the modernist project of
the nineteenth and twentieth century nation promised to deliver - the neat fit between territory,
language
and
identity
Managing differences is becoming one of the greatest challenges to multicultural countries.
Children growing up in these and other settings are likely than in any previous generation in
history to face a life of working and networking, loving and living with others from different
national, linguistic, religious and racial backgrounds. They are challenged to engage and work
through competing and contrasting models such as kinship, gender, language (monolingual and
multilingual), and the complicated relationships between race, ethnicity and equality in new
ways. It is by interrupting "thinking as usual" -- the taken- for-granted understandings and
worldviews that shape cognitive and metacognitive styles and practices--- that managing
difference can do the most for youth growing up today. Global changes in culture deeply affect
educational policies, practices and institutions.
2. Economics Issues on Globalization.
- David Bloom argues that because of globalization, education is more important than ever
before in history. He claims that growing worldwide inequality, indexed by increasing gaps and
income can well-being, generally mimics a continuing and growing global gap in education.
Education, he claims, is "clearly a strong trigger for positive development spirals."
According to Gardner, education background helps students synthesize information from a
variety of disciplines and geographies, so they understand how economics inform politics.
At the economic level, because of globalization is affecting employment it touches upon one of
the traditional goals of education, preparation of work.
Schools are not only concerned with preparing students as producers, increasingly, schools help
shape consumer attitudes and practices as well as encouraged by the corporate sponsorship of
educational institutions and products, both curricular and extracurricular that confronts students
every day in their classrooms. Increasing commercialization of the school environment has
become remarkably bold and explicit in its intentions which admits quite openly that it offers
schools free televisions so as to expose children to a force-fed diet of commercials in their
classrooms every day.

Globalization will continue to be a vector of worldwide change. We need better baby

understanding of how education will be transformed by globalization and how it, in turn, can
shape and manage the course of globalization. How education most broadly defined can best
prepare children to engage in a global world --- economic, demographic, social and cultural.
3. Political Issues on Globalization.
- Yet, at the same time that economic coordination and exchange have become increasingly wellregulated, and as stronger institutions emerge to regulate global economic activity, with
globalization there has also been a growing number internationalization of global conflict, crime,
terrorism and environmental issues but with an inadequate development of political institutions
to address them. Growth of global corporations, global mobility, global communication and
global expansion foster a more critical conception of what education for "world citizenship"
requires.
