Precisely globalization spawned oppression of the poor. Despite being the majority group, due to not having enough competence; they are frozen in as the weak group. Globalization is a form of economic colonialism. In it applies “the law of the jungle”, who are economically and politically powerful to be the ruler. The economical globalization unleashes the wealth of the owners of capital, to oppress the working class. The era of globalization is not the form of justice and the distribution of wealth; it is the distribution of social injustice and inequality. Conflicts are triggered by a clash between the capitalist and working classes. Globalization is the pinnacle of social change, in which telecommunications technology, media and information technology into a force capable of reaching all walks of life. There is a strong relationship between globalization, poverty and inequality information. One side of globalization triggers is an acceleration of the welfare of the population lives in an intelligent, skilled, and rich in accessing information; generally those who living in industrialized countries-secularliberal. In another aspect, globalization creates poverty distribution in the population ignorant, unskilled and poor in accessing information. They lived in an agrarian countrytraditional-religious.

Raising a child is probably the most gratifying job any of educators will ever have and one of the toughest. In large part, that is because times have changed. We live in an increasingly complex world that challenges us every day with a wide range of disturbing issues that are difficult for children to understand and for adults to explain. All teachers will inevitably teach about sensitive topics in their classes, especially classes that will deal with international perspectives such international studies and English language teaching (ELT) that occurs in secondary schools in Indonesia. These sensitive topics may range from racism, forced labor or slavery to bullying, sexual orientation, gender biases, poverty, diseases, disaster – and may be completely unexpected. Any topic of a sensitive nature may make even the best of teachers uncomfortable when exploring the topic with students. Despite the emergence of the concept of cross cultural understanding in ELT, but mostly the natural reaction of the English language teachers is often to shy away from difficult or controversial topics, or to approach them from a superficial, strained or halfhearted standpoint, or even try to avoid these topics, leaving the secondary children into confusion as they will face the global challenges for the upcoming years. But many times these topics are crucially important to students’ development and awareness of the world and its social, moral, political and civic underpinnings. Students of secondary schools deserve to be taught about these topics in authentic, engaging and purposeful ways. This is the teachers who deal with global development perspective should have foundation in introducing sensitive issues to the children in their classes. read more
