Today there is a great variety of opinion regarding the meaning of the term globalization Normally, however, the word is used in four senses: internationalisation, liberalisation, universalisation, and westernisation. When the term, internationalisation is used, it often refers to the steady growth of transactions and interdependence among the nations of the world. To many, globalization is synonymous with internationalization. Others understand the term globalization to mean liberalization and imply by this the borderless relations for their economic and cultural development. On the other hand, there are those who use this term in the sense of universalisation indicating worldwide expansion. There is one final meaning regarding the use of this word among scholars and that is westernization. In this use of the world, it is considered to be a kind of universalisation in which both the new social structures of modernity (capitalism, industrialism, rationalism, urbanism, etc.) are spread throughout the world to mix with existing cultures. In the process, older cultures and local self-recognition is destroyed in the process.

Academic Disciplines and the Challenge of Globalization There is much discussion today regarding globalization. It is used for entering multipurpose projects, finding employment around the world, studying at international universities, and staying current with world media, literature, education and other socioeconomic fields.
