Globalisation takes no account of local culture therefore unethical
Introduction
Contemporary manifestations of globalisation are observable in a variety of contexts social, political, economic, technological, corporate, demographic, and cultural those are not neatly separable. (Fukuyama 2006) Indeed, it is in the nature of globalisation that these spheres are becoming more closely intertwined as are the human communities that give them meaning and substance.

On the one hand, the phenomenon seems to hold promise for the further development and intensification of global norms, especially in terms of human rights standards. On the other hand, analyses of certain manifestations of globalisation have highlighted a number of negative social effects linked to structural adjustment, migration, criminal activities, and ethnic conflict. (Castells 1996)
The enmeshment of human communities and their spheres of activity in global dynamics is important trend. At the same time, localization and/or fragmentation is also a significant phenomenon. But such tendencies are not necessarily contradictory to at least some aspects of globalisation. It has been suggested, for example, that processes leading to the strengthening of local and regional identities may in fact contribute to a cosmopolitan global culture.
