GLOBALIZATION AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE SOCIAL SYSTEM

Abstract

Globalization has been conceptualized in the
Western world-view. It impacts seriously on the
social system. This essay discusses basic
manifestations of globalization; likely goals of
globalization; and considers its salient implications
for the social system. With regards to likely goals of
globalization, it seems the establishment of a world
government at some later date is one of the likely
targets of globalization. Global inequality and
global social conflict scenario are the two basic
issues of globalization. Social systems worldwide
face serious challenges of globalization.
