The Social Challenges of Globalization

Abstract

Globalization is the most complex social, economic, cultural and political worldwide trend, which leads to the homogenization of the world and carries the cessation of uniqueness. The decline of the traditional values, the national and cultural identities also reduces the integrating ability of societies, consequently, societies are going to be far more vulnerable to hybrid attacks aiming the weakness and disintegration of the national community. An economically prospering society with a strong identity can compete against the negative effects of globalization and hybrid threats with the highest chance of success.
