Description

Introduction GLOBALISATION HAS A PROFOUND impact on all facets of our lives. It is defined in various ways--from social, economic and cultural perspectives. For instance, some definitions of globalisation include perspectives on language, westernisation and consumerism (e.g. Robinson & Jones Diaz, 2006; Waters, 1995), while other definitions consider transnational corporations, global economies and global culture (e.g. Boli & Lechner, 2001; Sklair, 1999). Economic and technological aspects predominate in various definitions of globalisation, with only a few meanings incorporating cultural perspectives (Tierney, 2004; Wolf, 2000). There is limited discussion surrounding the social and cultural impacts of globalisation on families and children (Carrington, 2008). As argued by Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) (p. 1), '[T]he family is an important unit to be considered when analysing the social or cultural impacts of globalisation, from both a local and global perspective.'
