Globalization can be explained as the globalization of the world as a global village, the reduction of time and space constraints, the increase of social and cultural similarities, the unification of reactions and lifestyles. Some people start this process with the geographical discoveries. The others start with the technological tools that emerged in the near future. Cinema, Television, internet, mobile phone etc. developments has accelerated this process further. All of these technological tools offer various possibilities, but also bring with them huge threats and dangers. As a matter of fact, globalization spreads Western culture or American culture, behavior patterns and lifestyle to the whole world. The same kind of behavior and lifestyles are exported all over the world with technological tools. They change the structures of family life, human relationships, and values of traditional societies. Therefore, both society and individuals have difficulty in adapting to this new situation in many respects and have deep crises. Some argue that globalization and the means and opportunities that it brings can be avoided in order to get rid of these problems. However, this means to surrender to the globalized world from the beginning. At this point, what needs to be done is to provide individuals with the necessary mental knowledge, skills, moral attitudes, values and behaviors to survive in the face of globalization. In this paper, it will focus on the threats of globalization to the life of the individual and society, and to make some basics on how to provide training for individuals in order to overcome them.
