Globalization is definitely a religious subject. The Bible has much to say about the currect global takeover by world powers, both civil and religious. Revelation 13 and 17 especially reveal a world takeover by a union of church and state.
In those two chapters, it is revealed that this union will try to force the whole world to do whatever it wants, whatever the results. This is clearly bad, and not good.
God gives us freedom of choice, He doesn't force us into following Him. However, globalization will seek to control people's conscience.

There are good elements to globalization, and there are bad elements.
Some people even disagree on which are the good and which are the bad.
Is it a good thing that you can exactly the same Big Mac in virtually every city on the planet? I'm inclined to say no, but others might disagree.
I see the very real enslavement of cheap overseas labour forces by huge corporations who pass their profits on to their shareholders and CEOs without putting anything back into the communities who are forced to take loans from the World Bank just to pay the interest on the loans they needed to take out to provide food and water for their villages as being a very, very, very, very bad thing. Apparently most CEOs and American politicians disagree with me.
At the same time, I see the growth of international communications and greater educational opportunities for everyone, and instant information from around the globe as a very, very good thing. There are many corporations, religions and governments who would disagree with me again.
It's not a simple good or bad prospect. I think it's high time we started looking at some of our financial and legal structures and really examined what some of our corporate tax laws and regulations that make companies responsible only to shareholders, and shareholders responsible to no one are doing to this planet, and change some of them before the whole house of cards collapses, but apparently that's just me.

For me the major problem with globalization is that it is one sided: it is all based on economy, there is no will of true interchange with other cultures. Moreover there is a risk of great conformity in globalization. I would agree with globalization only if it were not made so much for business only.

Bad. Every Nation, just like every person within a Nation, should have the right to not be part of any organization higher than itself. That is called FREEDOM. Freedom to NOT join in any groups whatsoever.

There are positives and negatives. Greed is bad, getting people moving toward the future is good. Destroying the planet is bad, we just need to watch what were doing more.

Bad
Before Globalization NO ONE ACT OF EVIL OR ARROGANCE COULD GO WORLD WIDE WITHOUT RUNNING INTO BARRIERS---GEOGRAPHICAL, ETHNIC, LANGUAGE, ETC.
Now evil knows no bounds. One act of evil or arrogance quickly becomes a world wide problem.
