Globalization is more than a word for a worldwide phenomenon; it affects all of us in our today’s lives. It can have considerable, concrete negative effects like the loose of someone’s job or can rest rather unseen, which means without consideration of the consumers when for example parts of cars are built in Eastern Europe and the complete car is later sold in Germany and therefore considered as “German-Quality-Product”. Processes of globalization have direct impact on our consumption, like the availability of fresh tropic fruits, coffee and cheap clothes. Globalization has also touristic and migrational aspects that affect the cultural perspective of a country (Backhaus, N. 2009, 13-14). It is really complicated to define globalization in general, because different groups like globalization supporter and antagonists have a very unequal look on this issue. Another problem is that globalization creates winner and loser, so it is problematic to make a general judgement on if the globalization process is good or bad. | Globalization is more than a word for a worldwide phenomenon; it affects all of us in our today’s lives.

An attempt to structure the theme of globalization will be made in the following paragraph. Because of the complexity of this theme globalization is divided into different dimensions. This divition is based on Giddens (1996, 92). The figure is adapted from Backhaus (2009, 24).<br><br> [[Image:Globalization dimensions-small.jpg]] | An attempt to structure the theme of globalization will be made in the following paragraph.

My focus lies on the capitalistic global economy, because it has a deep impact on the globalization and has a strong influence on our lives. The system of the world market is very powerful and can lead to negative consequences like the financial crisis in 2008/2009 in a very global form. | My focus lies on the capitalistic global economy, because it has a deep impact on the globalization and has a strong influence on our lives.

In my case study I like to concentrate on the economic side of globalization. As introduction I will focus on market economy and the allocation of world trade. Then I will highlight global crises that can be seen as consequences of a global economy. After that I like to focus on some detailed example like the textile industry as an example for changes in production and the labour conditions. I also like to do a short side track to the Global Compact and the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the limit of such commitments. As possible future prospects I will finish with an overview about some models of employment for the future. | In my case study I like to concentrate on the economic side of globalization.

The case study focuses on people's relationship to their local environment in the early 21st century and compares it with the time half of the 20th century. Since that time relationship of people to place where they live and their way of life greatly transformed. | The case study focuses on people's relationship to their local environment in the early 21st century and compares it with the time half of the 20th century.

The human relationship to the environment, the landscape or area in which they reside, can be seen as natural. View where human being is connected with home or earth-connected is in our minds very well rooted. As well as we feel that in developed countries that no longer apply. The case study examines how this change relates to the globalisation process. Furthermore, also focuses on the changing availability of resources, transportation, information exchange, etc. People are as well as wild animals or different types of trees closely linked to the country where they live. Linkages to the living environment can be very considerable for humans and consciousness that this applies to each is of great significance. Therefore, this case study particularly focuses on how are people and the environment where they live affected by this change. | The human relationship to the environment, the landscape or area in which they reside, can be seen as natural.
