Abstract
Today the word « Globalization » is on everybody's lips. From the company who goes abroad because of cheaper costs to the “junky food” that we like to eat, Globalization seems to be the perfect scapegoat for every international phenomenon. Globalization seems to be THE trendy word that explains everything. But, does everyone know what globalization is? Is there a perfect definition for it? Before staring at this phenomenon known as the worst consequence of capitalism, have we tried to analyze it? Everybody speaks about globalization even if they do not really know what does it means. What I would like to show in this dissertation is that Globalization is not only about McDonalds and Capitalism. I would like to convey the cultural effects of the globalization, the other aspects which is rarely shown when people speak of it.
Globalization, also called internationalization sometimes, is a very interesting phenomenon that affects everyone's life even if we are not aware of it. From the shirt sewed in China to the Colombian coffee, we are surrounded by products coming from every part of the globe. So it is an actual subject which concerned everyone. By influence, it must have an effect on our culture, on our values, on the way we think. This is what I am going to look at.
