Globalization … a new domain of knowledge, a driving force, prone to promote the world alliance and universal mutuality. But what if to investigate the other side of the coin? Though fostering the idea of global support, globalization leads to several disruptive effects:1. destruction of nations’ diversity and elimination of unique cultures (Just imagine, that one day all cultures in the world will be identical. Many things that we like today will disappear. For example, travelling won’t make any sense, as there’s no need to fly 10 hours to see the same world that we see every day in our homeland.) 2. loss of individual skills and abilities due to shifting the industry and ways of thinking to the same unified methods3. erasing from memory the historical heritage and language wealth that previously seemed inexorable (we are so interested in other countries, their history and language that we forget our own. It seems to me that nowadays more Belarussians speak English than Belarussian, and we know the history of the USA or Great Britain better than the history of Belarus.)4. dissemination of impersonal unified standards in all life spheres5. and finally: the loss of national self-consciousness which transforms humans in individuals . (Many people nowadays call themselves “people of the world”. It’s obvious that the more people of the world – the fewer patriots in our country and the fewer real Belarussians.)Now ask yourselves: are you ready to sacrifice your personality and betray your ancestors’ memory for the sake of building an elaborate ecumenical machine with billions of the same impersonal unified elements?
