The dangers in a globalising world – selected examples

Abstract

This paper deals with selected dangers in a globalizing world. It outlines the risks associated with socio-economics, culture and civilization. Such description is obviously incomplete and requires further research and deeper analysis. However, the hazards discussed here are definitely real and no solutions for preventing or at least diminishing them have been found so far. For some people globalization is a chance for development, multiplying profits or a decent life, whereas for others it may cause economic regression, poverty or a lack of perspective for a better future. It should all be remembered, the more so the world has never before been so “small”.
