These countries could profit from transnational regulations and guidelines. | For other countries on the contrary, the reduction of state power could be a chance, too.

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? (And So What?)", 2000, p. 107''), comes along the movement of people and therefore the movement of culture and religion. The differing birth rates and policies change the old power structures [[File: | Finally, analysing one more concern is crucial for the purpose of understanding the rife fear of the globalisation process.

Hence, the great number of people now participating in global politics does not only lead to plurality but also to the concern people with other concepts could gain too much power. 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>.
