Summary/Abstract: Today we live in so-called “era of globalization.” More we talk about it, more concerned we become, but nevertheless, there is no universal definition assigned to this accepted phenomenon. This is due, perhaps, to the fact that globalization comprises an extensive range of complex processes occurring in different areas of contemporary society. Specifically, globalization is the term currently used to describe those changes recorded in companies of world’s economy, changes arising from the large increase of international trade and exchanges taking place. However, globalization displays increasing trade and investment following the disappearance barriers and the interdependence between states. As a result of this globalization, the world in critical areas has turned into a unique social system, precisely through the development of those ties of interdependence between states, which each of us affects us. Referring to globalization is often used in economic and, almost exclusively, is considering trade, free trade and labor market liberalization. It is true that globalization is achieved by a real link between multi-national states on plans not only the economic, which include communication and exchange of information and activity in various fields research and no less true that the mastery of information is increasingly needed in the competition taking place to rule territories and possession and exploitation of raw materials and labor. But, we ask how real is the information we receive and how much it helps us evolve culturally and spiritually, if we really helps each one of us who are witnessing and without right of choice involved in this process of globalization, the globalization of society in which we live? The study presents the views of the author on the effects of globalization on men and women development as being endowed with intellect, views that give a negative answer to the question above mentioned, according to which, as a result of globalization, humans get to live only for the production and consumption in a state of constant manipulation by those who hold real information, and default, the power.
