Abstract
One of the most important features, which would accompany us through this new
millennium is globalization with its positive and negative effects on humanity.
Globalization has now become a byword in our conversation, especially in discourses
that have got anything to do with contemporary socio-economic issues. The word has
come into common usage in the mass media, most recently referring to the globalizing
economy, the rapid transfer of capital across national boundaries.
Globalization is taken in this essay as the process through which capital goods,
services and at times labor easily cross national boundaries and then acquire a
transnational character. This process is often accompanied by a flow of related ideas and
even values across frontiers and consequently reshapes local economies and political
institutions, social relationships and cultural patterns.
In this essay, we would hie to show as much as possible that there is a way to live
a better life in this world than what we are currently living. It is in the light of the
Teaching of the Church that we can find an alternative: a life centered on human person
seen as a steward who, at the appropriate time, will have to account for his actions to his
creator
