According to Felix Wilfred (No Salvation Outside Globalization), Globalization seems to carry the whole world along. But in fact, it leaves more and more behind it in the desert of misery. It uproots people with the promise of plenty, but in fact it saps them mercilessly and allows them to dry out and die. The poor and the weak in our society are increasingly deprived of the security their traditional occupations, however menial these may be, provide. They are incapable of competing in a system whose very nature is to leave behind many as it progresses. The agricultural sector has experienced the heaviest blow of globalization. Globalization for them in effect means marginalization.

It is easy to drag peoples and nations into global economics. This progressively leads to the loss of the noblest aspects of their culture. All of them are supplied with a surrogate global culture, which ultimately serves the vested interests of the powerful.

MANIPULATED GLOBALIZATION:

1. TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS: The MAIN ACTORS are the Transnational Corporations (multinational companies) which owe loyalty to no one, especially to no nation state. Most industrialized nations are in debt but not the trans-nationals. They are the engines of globalization. Nation states and politicians now work for them.

2. COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY: Computers are now the language of modern and post-modern life. The NET defines life for many. Money moves at the speed of the computer and thus becomes the only true human language.  We are being obliged to be part of the communications super-highway.

3. THE ECONOMICALLY POWERFUL: The rich and the wealthy do not really show any loyalty to their own country or nations, but rather to the new global community. Jet travel, cellular and satellite phones, computers and tax havens off-shore allow the rich to move about the world as if it were their home and show no allegiance to their home country.

4. THE MEDIA: Who owns it? Who runs it? The media is biased, and often manipulated to serve the interests of those who wield political and economic power. The Media of the rich nations accept the agenda of the trans-national corporations and try to convince the rest of the world that it is the only reality worth taking towards, the only truly human reality, the real sense of progress.
