Summary/Abstract: In relation to the phenomenon of globalization today are dominant two opposing groups of approach. According to one, globalization is not in question nor from the processual, nor from the perspective of value. Procedural, it is the regularity of the general history of humanity walk, and it is impossible to stop it. Not only that. Each stopping is by itself, in terms of values , retrogression and antihumanism. According to others, however, the meaning and scope of globalization have completely opposite meanings. It is, economically, the process of planetarisation and domination of big capital. But, this is not the worst. It is the process of unification and cultural value, and, then, it means that it is also the process of destroying the identity of any other account for the identity of big business. In this process, in the same matrix, will first die identities of small nations, and then everyone else. From this perspective, globalization is viewed necessarily as antihumanism, it is against the fundamental postulates of human life and society. How, therefore to position towards globalization?
