Abstract

Nowadays usually the term civil society is being used by critics and activists as a source of strength and social life area that needs to be protected against globalization. It is because it has been seen that civil society has acted beyond the boundaries and between different domains. However, according to so many definitions, civil society includes the institutions and firms that can be a supporter of globalization, such a use for this statement is controversial. On the other hand some see globalization as a social phenomenon that provides classical liberal values. These values inevitably lead to highlighting the role of civil society and its costs have been derived government agencies. Due to economic, political, scientific changes and expanding communication, globalization has occurred in modern times and countries therefore need to coordinate with them. Based on this interpretation it should be admitted that a particular culture will apply its domination on ethics, the arts, economics, politics, and human individual and collective behavior, and at last the world would have the same culture. But those who doesn’t have an aggressive interpretation of globalization, believe that globalization doesn’t mean domination of a particular culture to the world but because human beings are all members of the international community, they must think about the issues that the international community grapples with them, and cooperate to remove bottlenecks that humanity is faced with. While they accept cultural pluralism as a fact, prescribe dialogue among civilizations, cultural understanding, and the pursuit of shared values, mutual respect, the international partnership and tolerance. In this context, some have argued that the formation of global culture does not lead to the decline of the demise of national and regional cultures. Because indigenous cultures have a strong value system and global culture cannot melt in these cultures. If one culture is going to decline it is due to internal weaknesses of that culture and is not related to the emergence of a global culture.
