Two opposing trends characterize contemporary society: globalization/mondialisation and regionalization/localization. If the first one targets the planetary dimension, the second one is a natural response to globalization, is the move back to tight space: small-scale areas (regions, districts), small cultures, human groups formed on the basis of identity factors such as language, religion, ethnic. However, both are the effects of internationalization of economic, cultural and communication phenomena, and even they haven’t obviously the same goals, they are completed by searching for unity in diversity and identity in difference in order to keep an absolutely necessary balance.

One of the effects of globalization is just changing this image about the nation.

These pairs of features (Table 1) should not be understood as antonyms. 284 Table 1: The characteristics of First and Second Modernization жүктеу/скачать 2,64 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
