Moreover, globalization eliminate great wars. Also, it makes difficult life of regimes dictatorial. Through the satellites situated over Earth, information runs around world with speed of own thoughts.
Besides, the state of environment will probably improve. We will get this due to new, friendly environment and energy-saving technologies. Until now, equipments used by, instance, farmers to work considerably facilitated it, but they influenced on environment unfavorably.
On the other hand globalization has many disadvantages. For example it develops organized guided crime, corruption all over the world. It make possible across modern technologies without defects.
Another dangerous threat is squeezing out cultures and national traditions by mass culture: all over the world people wear jeans or eat fast foods, which come from United States.
