Era of globalization is a reality that must be faced by every nation and country, Indonesia is no exception. The process of interaction and mutual influence upon, and even friction between nations interests occur quickly and include the increasingly complex problems. Territorial limits of the State is no longer a barrier to the interests of each nation and the State. In economics there is competition increasingly fierce, so that further complicate the positions of poor countries. Meanwhile, in the political, social, cultural, defense and security there is also a shift in values. For example, the globalization of the political field appears, that democracy and human rights has been made by the international community to determine whether the State is considered as a civilized country or not?
Every nation in the world today can not be separated from one another. Therefore each other should cooperate in order to achieve the goals of the nation. Globalization is one thing that must be faced by various nations in the world.

A. Understanding Globalization
 According to the origin of he said, the word "globalization" is derived from global, whose meaning is universal. Suparman Achmad expressed Globalization is a process of making something (the object or behavior) as a characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by the area of ​​Globalization does not have an established definition, but simply the definition of work (working definition), so it depends from which side one looks at it. There have viewed it as a social process, or processes of history, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world are increasingly tied to each other, create a new order of life or the unity of co-existence by eliminating geographic boundaries, economic and cultural society.
On the other hand, some see globalization as a project promoted by the great powers, so it may be people who have negative or suspicious about it. From this viewpoint, globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most sophisticated. Powerful countries and the rich would practically control the world economy and the small states increasingly powerless for not being able to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a big impact on the economy of the world, and even affect other areas such as culture and religion. Theodore Levitte was the man who first used the term globalization in 1985.
Scholte see that there are some definitions which meant people with globalization:
Internationalization: Globalization is defined as the increase of international relations. In this case each country retains its identity, respectively, but became increasingly dependent on each other.
Liberalization: Globalization is also interpreted by the diturunkankan boundaries between countries, such as export tariff barriers to imports, foreign exchange flows, and migration.
Universalization: Globalization is also described as the spread of the material and immaterial to the world. Experience in one locality may be the experience of the world.
Westernization: Westernization is a form of universalization with the spread of western thought and culture to globalize.
Transplanetari relations and suprateritorialitas: Meaning is in contrast to the fourth the fifth the above definition. In the first four definitions, each country still retains the status of ontology. On the fifth sense, global world has its own ontological status, not just the countries combined.
Sartono Kartodirjo argue that the globalization process is actually a symptom of history that has existed since the time prasejarah.Beberapa example among other nations from Asia to Europe, to America, from Asia to the archipelago, and others. Based on a review of history, Indonesia has long suffered actual process of globalization.
Globalisai derived from the globe, it means a globe. Globalization means something that is related to the international world, or all of the natural universe. The meaning of globalization by Big Indonesian Dictionary is the process of entry into the scope of the world. The process of inclusion of various things such as problems, events, activities or attitudes that become the world's opinion. Examples of forest fires that cause smog and global impact. Sartono Kartodirjo argue that the globalization process merupak actual historical phenomenon that has existed since prehistoric times.
World historical events that enhance the process of globalization, among others:

The growth of colonialism and imperialism.
The growth of capitalism.
The post World War II meningkatlah telecommunications and transport jet engines.

Indonesia should only take it progress from the positive side, it's good progress in the economic, political, social, cultural, and technological. To the values ​​of Pancasila should we use as a filter of value taken, because the values ​​of Pancasila in accordance with the circumstances of the Indonesian nation. Pancasila derived from religion and customs of earth were excavated from Indonesia. If you pick up a thing or goods originating from abroad, but does not match the values ​​of Pancasila, then there is the escape of Indonesian national identity.
