Globalization is not a new term since almost every individual is aware of what it means as they have witnessed its effects. The effects of globalization has can be experienced as positive and negative but the negative effects out way the positive hence it become a threat to human life. This paper seeks to look at what is meant by globalization and whether character and community will survive in the age of globalization.

Economic increase in the international transaction is at the core of the natural human mission for maximization of profit. As described by Pope John Paul when a business is performing well, man implies to choice to which cost is an integral part. In this case, human beings pursue their most highly valued ends and it is from this point which we should learn to be known to dwell in commonly identified threats of consumerism which need to be well understood (Mach, 2010).
