Firstly, globalization is a process of narrowing down gaps culturally, politically, economically, geographically and all others aspect of differences. Therefore, sharing information becomes the prime of Globalization. Thus, information technology is the key of Globalization. Globalization tends to seek for equality of humanity and it open many new doors for people to get connected. The goal of information technology is to help people to get connected with the information. The need for information and connectivity demand easy accessibility to internet. On the other hand, globalization does effect people’s belief and values. Electronic media, business opportunities, and popular culture especially science and humanism are driving force of globalization. Globalization also negatively affected upon society and cultural especially on some good cultural and tradition in the East are endangered. For example, Asian youth become less respectful to their elders and also become skeptical about the truth as many of them are atheist. Personal face to face relationship is dying out because of many forms of gadgets and technology.
Modernism can be seen as a way of ordering the social world and making decisions based on a rationale, calculability and an adherence to the rules of expert knowledge.[1] Modernism can be also seen as a cultural movement regarding fields of art and architecture, music and literature emerging in the decades before 1914, as artists rebelled against late 19th century traditions. The most obvious impact of Modernism in mission was the raise of Christian radio station in the past decade. Modern evangelists have a propensity to use modern tools to spread the gospel base on their rationale, calculability.
The main feature ascribed to Postmodernism is the permanent and irreducible pluralism of cultures, communal traditions, ideologies, or awareness and recognition of this pluralism. The destruction of humanity in terms of ethic and moral was one of side effect of Postmodernism. People easily snub the truth about God because they rejected absolutism and embrace relativism. On the other hand the word of God is absolute truth and never will change.
