There is not a nation that is free from the influence and pitfalls of globalization, so that only the intellect and unity in the nation that will determine whether the nation will be a winner or loser (Stiglitz, 2006).

Reflecting the present circumstances, there are a lot of the dynamics of the problems that we have to deal with foreigners who have made no comfort for our country and young people today are the future leaders or successors of our nation, and this certainly fits the context of the current 71 years of Indonesian independence which many dynamics following it from the start of this country establishment, the process of proclamation of independence until dynamics after independence until now filled with polemic perceived by the public.

The dynamics that develop within countries also greatly influenced by countries around Indonesia. The relationship of human interaction in a society in the beloved country is certainly undeniable impact of changes in both small and large scale within the system of culture in society. To maintain the existence of the country is certainly needed a big idea or slogan to bind loyalty of society that composed of many factions to achieve the benefit of the nation.
 
In the process of interaction which is a necessity of everyone to form a group is certainly going to be a problem in itself. Moreover, a group of people who have joined in the global state order that would shape the country was having a dream or its own direction. Imperialism or both break down walls and build the world into one global unification to occur.

The main culprit in this global process of global unification for the sake of the labor market and pioneered by the industrial revolution. Global unification process was driven by the fall of transport costs due to steam engines and trains as well as telecommunications costs decrease by telegraph, telephone, satellite and fiber optics. The force behind this era of globalization is a breakthrough in the field of hardware originated from the steamer and train up the phone and computer.

While power is sometimes used as a proxy government, non-state actors of violence, and mercenaries, other third parties is used more often is hoped that these groups could attack the opponent without causing a full-scale war.

Performers of proxy war are not only fought to have a pure proxy war, but as a group fighting for a particular nation usually has their own interests, which may deviate from those of their patrons. Typically proxy war functioned well during the cold war, because they become a necessity in the conduct of armed conflict between at least two parties at war while continuing cold war.
Groups that address globalization negatively always of the view that globalization is part form of colonialism in the flow of global imperialism. Inevitable consequences of this flow we are required to make a cultural strategy that will create sustain the existence of the state.
