1. Introduction
In these days we can find a lot of different definitions of globalization. Some scientists globalization describes as political, economical and cultural atmosphere off today (M. I. Katsioloudes and S. Hadjidakis, 2007). W. H. Mobley (2006) strongly believes that globalisation is result of all changes in the world but not the cause. He says that the real driving force behind dislocations is the speed of change of widespread adoption of new approaches especially in areas that have heretofore been stable. While other scientist D. J. Boudreaux (2009) consider that globalization is the advance of human cooperation across national boundaries. Cooperation is describe as a typically taken to involve each participating person’s intention to be part of larger effort. He also found out that globalisation is a source of rivalry of competition. It’s equally real and important because it’s the vast pattern of cooperation that globalisation spread across our planet. That is to say that without competition would be neither inventions nor innovations. As well all these scientists accepted that globalization is closer
