Globalization started thousands of years ago all over planet Earth with the homo sapiens. It created economic, cultural, and technological networks that have given us the world as we know it and the global cyber world. Globalization has its own origins and the process involves different historical stages of mankind. It’s not a fashion or a strategy made up by capitalism or the American Empire to hide relations of domination from the main world powers. Although nowadays there are plenty of local and global social conflicts, Russia and Asia have a love relationship and are divorced from the United States and the European Union. Likewise, independence processes have taken place in Scotland, Catalonia, and other regions of the world. Therefore, rethinking globalization becomes an important issue, not only because of its implications, but because of the emergence of the digital world: the cyberworld and its virtual networks.
