The contribution presented here offers principal information about the form of contemporary civilization, nature, causes and main subjects of the globalization process. Positive as well as negative consequences of the globalization process are assessed. The explanation is aimed at main problems induced by the globalization in all the currently existing relevant fields of the social life (economic, political, social and demographic). A special attention is paid to cultural consequences and to the escalation of environmental problems.
The origination, development and social impacts of the globalization are considered. The globalization has extensive social consequences. The most important effects are the potentiation of the unequal social and economic development resulting from the fact that companies, individuals and through their mediation also localities, municipalities and countries have different power and capability of their active participation in the globalization.

Keywords: Society; culture; multicultural education; social feelings; philosophy; globalization
