Globalisation is a system where social mobility, competition and technological services have much power. It is characterized by the globalization of trade, investment, finance, labour knowledge and technology. In this system the most striking effects are: to have, to possess, to dominate and at the same time gaining knowledge, openness and solidarity. It essentially signifies the emergence of a seamless and borderless economy. In some cases it deepens the problem of poverty, unemployment, inequalities, marginalization and exploitation.
