Summary/Abstract: Globalization, a multifaceted process with major effects on contemporary societies and communities, has been frequently studied, but it has remained inexhaustible as a studying resource. Through this article, we intend to study the effects of globalization and its direct and indirect implications in relation with social change. In this respect, we have raised two major paradigms in relation with which the meeting of local and global value systems becomes problematic or not: the disjunctive paradigm, that studies globalism vs. localism, respectively, the conjunctive paradigm, that studies the phenomenon called glocalism. Through our study we have succeeded to highlight the internal/external cultural change in relation with the space-time coordinates.
