"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 concerns. 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 from 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.

One of the most spread concerns at this is the fear of losing the own job. The globalisation of human capital leads to heated discussions and negative associations with the whole process of globalisation, especially in the Western civilisation, since the production in Asia and Latin America is in almost all cases cheaper, occasionally better and more and more often better and cheaper. Often the fear of losing the job to a competitor from abroad superposes all other effects, notwithstanding whether they are reckoned to be positive or negative. In this case, the boundaries between negative consequences and personal dismay become blurred. To actualise the discussion of the globalisation of human capital it is essential to consider accessorily one aspect. To understand the coherency within the whole idea of the development of globalisation, it is crucial to evaluate who is affected by this change on the employment market in fact. In relation to the Stolper-Samualson-Theorem (''"Volkswirtschaftslehre : das internationale Standardwerk der Makro- und Mikroökonomie", 2007, part 4, chapter  15-19 or'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolper-Samuelson_theorem]) one awareness can be concluded - the globalisation of human capital only refers to the low educated level, while executives and tasks with a high educated basis of knowledge are almost unaffected. Maybe the new "losers" of the globalisation are, provided that the direction of this process continues, the unlettered and not inevitably the 3rd world countries anymore. Hence, this system for chances of success which basis lies in the education of people, not in their origin or place of birth might even be a fairer system than the one we are living in right now.
