Globalisation is a concept nowadays every single one of us has heard of. However, not many people deal with the subject of globalisation. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for instance refers to this easily mistakable term as “a process of closer economic integration of global markets“ ([http://www.oecd.org/document/30/0,3343,en_2649_37447_37478942_1_1_1_1,00.html]) and although quite simple, this definition can be regarded as a reasoned definition for an organisation, which primarily deals with economical issues. Nevertheless, this definition is too limited in order to stress the complexity and duality of the process of globalisation. The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology adds, that “this development is being driven forward by world-wide information networks and communication technologies“ ([http://www.bmwi.de/English/Navigation/Economy/Economic-policy/globalisation,did=76820.html]), while the U.S. Department of Commerce focuses on the “potential to affect each other more quickly and to a higher degree than ever before“ (''Owens, 2003, p. 4''). | Globalisation is a concept nowadays every single one of us has heard of.

"Globalization in its current speed overwhelms the adaptability of many people" (Fabian Siggemann, [[http://cozpserver1n2.jinonice.cuni.cz/vcsewiki/index.php/2009/2010_student_themes]]) and therefore fans fear and concern. In order to examine the research question, which of the major concerns are synonymous to the actual risks during the process of globalisation and which result of individual environment or lack of information and accordingly the disregard of important aspects, several facets and aspects need to be pointed out related to the different sections of concern. | "Globalization in its current speed overwhelms the adaptability of many people" (Fabian Siggemann, [[http://cozpserver1n2.jinonice.cuni.cz/vcsewiki/index.php/2009/2010_student_themes]]) and therefore fans fear and concern.
