ABSTRACT: This essay is divided into several parts to discuss globalization. The first half defines globalization, explores its dimensions, and examines the current phenomenon, particularly in the post-Cold War era. The second half utilizes three different case studies to illustrate the problems associated with globalization. Ultimately, this paper critiques globalization for amplifying individual egoism and leading to dehumanization across various dimensions.
