“…The number of people who have exposure to or are learning the English language is at an all-time high. As of 2002, one-third of the world's population had English language exposure, and one billion people were currently learning English (Lieber and Weisberg 2002). Also, English is the first language for over 400 million people; it is spoken on a daily basis as a second language by 375 million people; and it is used occasionally as a foreign language by over 700 million people for business or pleasure.…”

“…In their research in the Ivory Coast, Delafosse and colleagues (1993) also attributed increases in armed aggression by youth to experiences of internal conflict between local and global values. At a broader level, Lieber and Weisberg (2002) have argued that "problems of identity" (p. 275) occur in some parts of Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East, where frustration with locally corrupt or unresponsive governments coupled with exposure to global cultural values leads to "rage" (p. 275) and sometimes violence, either locally or directed toward the West (see also Hermans and Dimaggio 2007;Kinnvall 2004).…”

This essay focuses on the opportunities and risks that adolescents face when developing cultural identities in the context of globalization. It starts by illustrating how globalization entails that adolescents increasingly have interactions with people from diverse cultures in myriad domains. Adolescents navigate local and global worlds, for example, with regard to language, diet, dating, and work. With the exposure to diverse cultures, new opportunities and risks arise. The nature of and evidence for three of these are highlighted. One is the risk of adolescent cultural identity confusion, with attendant internalizing and externalizing pathological behaviors. A second is the emergence of cultural gaps between adolescents and parents, a phenomenon that may constitute both a risk and a necessity. The third issue discussed is the way that globalization may open up more opportunities for youth civic involvement, even if such involvement sometimes aims to resist globalization.

Environmental problems are the most serious matters which are caused by electrical and electronical and technological conditions in the world. Media are the most common instruments in the world and numerous messages are conveyed via media, even warnings or threats. Media have sovereignty on people and have power to persuade people and to persuade administrators. All topics and all matters can be used by media and media can change all matters to attractive topics and media can set a fantastic imaginary world for people. Environmental matters are sometimes used by media but media ususally focus sensational dimensions of environment and serious problems about environment are generally ignored. Media have many facilities and great power to warn people about environmental risks and envitonmental dangers and environmental responsibilities.

“…Two factors have been effective in this phenomenon: first: the economic and financial effect of globalization and modernity, the emergence of modern consumption goods, the effect of mass media (TV, Satellite, Film and internet…) has been effective. Second one is western values including scientific argumentation, secularism, individualism, freedom of speech, political pluralism, ruling of law, equalization of women and minorities (Lieber And Weisberg, 2002;Howard, 2002). Theorists have different view toward the influence of globalization on culture.…”

“…Proponents believe that although globalization leads to integration and removal of cultural barriers, it is an important step toward more stable world and better life for individuals (Rothkoph, 997). However, others consider globalization of culture improper due to fear from universal power and the continuance of multinational collaborations with international institutions such as International Monetary Fund (IMF) (Lieber and Weisberg, 2002). According to these views, the idea of globalization is controversial form cultural point of view (Vair, 2004).…”
