Finally, analysing one more concern is crucial for the purpose of understanding the rife fear of the globalisation process. With “the movement of ideas, information [and] images“ (''"Globalization: What‘s New? What‘s Not?

At the same time, among other reasons the entering of Anglicisms into the own language leads to the concern about loosing the own culture. While on one hand one standardised language helps to exchange knowledge and at the same time increases the capacity to act in case of global crises, it leads on the other hand to the neglect of the own language and therefore the neglect of the own culture, due to influences from all over the world<ref>for further reading see "Does the globalization of media lead to homogenization?" by '''Corinna Lohrengel''' [http://cozpserver1n2.jinonice.cuni.cz/vcsewiki/index.php/Does_the_globalization_of_media_lead_to_homogenization%3F]</ref>.

This feeling of radicalness of cultural oppression could in addition be one reason for terror or nationalism (cf. reportage "Nazis in Amerika", 23rd November, 2009, 8:05pm on n-tv).
