The Great Shift of Globalization

Globalization comes from the word globe or global which means globe. Globalization is also
defined as a social change, in the form of increased public interest in technology,
communication, transportation.

The very rapid development of communication has become one of the networks to make it easier
towards a shift in people's behavior, as a result people are starting to be contaminated by lazy and
passive diseases to the surrounding environment, for example seen from daily life only in city
communities especially those who live in their apartments are very Individuals are only
concerned with their respective needs and affairs, from here we are educated as selfish selves.

In this globalization, people can easily see and even exchange cultures with western people,
which in fact speak poorly to minorities in our society, one of which is the culture of dressing,
now a lot of our people are wearing open western-style clothes such as mini skirts, hot pants ,
etc., let's compare it with the old days where our society tended to wear clothes that were a little
closed and polite, the difference was very far, nowadays it puts forward a style that attracts a lot
of attention and even crimes such as mini skirts, but if you look at this era, it's not only people
who wear western clothes are considered a good stile but a closed dress style is also more stylish
and pleasing to the eye, and also does not invite various crimes.

Let us look again at how the state of our country before being influenced by globalization, our
society was a society that cared and was friendly to the environment and anyone, even due to our
hospitality, our country was labeled as the most friendly people, that's how we know after this
globalization. Our society has changed greatly, our society is now more concerned with its own
needs and interests.

Here I take an example of a crime that has been successfully invited by western-style clothing
that is involved in our society today is a case of rape that occurs in public transportation, if you
think logically it is impossible for crimes such as rape to occur especially in public places, it is
very worrying the situation of our society at this.
