This process has effects on the environment, culture, political systems, economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being . The Western brand of globalization is a race to get dominance, physical and geographical expention capturing the economic resources in the world, especialy in the developing and Muslim countries. It is a threat for the national integrity, honor, norms and values.
