“…From its obscure origins in the mid-twentieth century, the concept of globalization has found its large and growing presence in today's print and virtual space (Held et al 1999;Steger, 2013). It has been widely used to describe the various economic, social, political and cultural changes that have shaped the world, especially over the last 50 years (Guttal, 2007).…”

Globalization can simply be described as the movement of goods, ideas, values and people around the world. The globalization process has greatly affected all parts of the world economy, including tourism as an important and growing economic activity. Tourism development can be viewed in all dimensions of these processes: economic, social, cultural and even political. The great importance of tourism in the current global economy makes it a very popular research field, especially in the part of the economic dependency between tourism and globalization at the global or regional level. This paper shows how globalization influences tourists' individual decisions about 'buying' a destination. The analysis is based on an empirical study of Serbian tourists' preferences and activities. The paper points to the positive correlation of globalization and tourist preferences, to the correlation of tourist activity and socio-demographic characteristics and to what tourism trends are visible in the attitude of Serbian tourists.

“…Although contact and exchanges between cultures are ancient processes, intercultural contact is accelerating with globalization and advancements in media, communication, and information technology (Steger, ). Such intersections of cultures, peoples, and the diverse practices and values that they endorse present exciting opportunities for sharing and learning different perspectives and worldviews.…”

Culture mixing is a critical consequence of globalization. Thus, predicting the effects of globalization on individual psychological processes requires understanding the effects of exposure to culture mixing on cognition, attitudes, and behaviors. Prior research has demonstrated that perceiving the mixing of own and foreign cultures can trigger subsequent shifts across a wide range of psychological processes. This article proposes that the psychological consequences of culture mixing can be understood through consideration of the specific form of culture mixing involved and the fundamental psychological functions that cultures (particularly heritage cultures) fulfill. Culture mixing itself is a diverse, heterogeneous phenomenon, and different forms of culture mixing (e.g., simultaneous co-presence, superimposition, fusion) may activate different psychological outcomes. Furthermore, heritage cultures serve critical psychological functions by providing guides and normative standards for behavior, acting as markers that facilitate differentiation of ingroup members from those of outgroups and buffering against psychological threats. The frustration or disruption of these functions by culture mixing may serve as a basis for predicting psychological responses to mixing. Finally, this article suggests key areas for future study in culture mixing and how studying diverse patterns of culture mixing may be critical for enriching cognition and behavior in response to reminders of globalization.

With an increasing awareness of a global-local reality, social work research and theorizing on globalization is limited but growing. From a multinational perspective, the purpose of this dissertation was to contribute to the emerging professional discourse through (a) an examination of definitions and dimensions of globalization and (b) and an exploration of the impact of globalization on social work education. Perspectives on globalization were collected on a newly designed and translated survey from 46 social work educators from schools of social work in China, Germany, Russia, and the United States of America. Descriptive analysis and the coding of themes were used to develop a baseline of information about the social work educators' impressions and experiences with globalization. Although there were many differences in the personal demographics and professional characteristics of the sample, the findings indicated that the social work educators had similar definitions, attitudes, and responses to globalization and its impact on social work education. The implication of these results is that v globalization is a common reality for social work educators regardless of location or individual background. Overall, the social work educators found globalization to be a relevant topic for curricula and an influence on the future of social work education. The social work educators were more ambivalent about the effects of globalization on their teaching methods and on their roles within academic institutions. vi
