Abstract
The emergence of global problems is associated with the history of formation of contemporary civilization and technocratically oriented culture; this is a natural consequence of the crisis of industrial society. Two centuries ago, nations still existed in isolation, but in the late XIX and early XX centuries there took place dramatic changes. Technology, economics and transport enormously increased mobility and the transformation possibilities of humans. The process of change took place (and still does) together with deep and thorough reforms in the social sphere. The term «globalization» refers to a broad range of events and trends: the development of world ideologies, intense struggle for the establishment of the world order; a jump-like increase in the number of international organizations and strengthening of their impact; the weakening of the sovereignty of nation-states; the emergence and development of transnational corporations (TNCs), the growth of international trade; intensive mass migration and the formation of multicultural communities; the creation of planetary mass media; the expansion of Western culture into all regions of the world, and so on. Analysis of these trends shows that they have acquired a character of synchronous social changes in the first half of XX century; and this transformation took place in such a way that it can be characterized as a social-cultural shift.
