1.1Background  

According to Al-Rodhan and Stoudmann (2006) Globalization includes economic integration; the transfer of policies across borders; the transmission of information; social strength; the propagation, relations, and discourses of power; it is a worldwide procedure, a concept, a revolution, and a foundation of the worldwide market free from sociopolitical control. Globalization incorporates all of these things. It is a concept that has been characterized differently throughout the years, with certain meanings alluding to advance, stability, integration and cooperation, and others referring to relapse, colonialism, and destabilization. Despite these challenges, this term carries with it a large number of hidden agendas. A person's political belief system, geographic area, societal status, social foundation, ethnic and religious association give the foundation that determines how globalization is interpreted.
