I think globalization is on average a good thing (and probably the only way we survive long-term, but that's another discussion) - but indeed, we have lost some things in the transition, namely stable communities. For a long time, these were provided by our family, our local community, a church, etc. Now, we have much more freedom in our choices of communities (i.e., one might leave an abusive family) which is generally a good thing, but without replacing those communities, it's difficult to grow as a person. Not to mention the myriad other social problems that arise from this - a lack of community to care for the elderly, generations who don't know how to develop real relationships, and the loneliness that comes from that, etc...
