In conclusion, globalization leads to conflicting ideas concerning ethnocentrism in a national respect.
Next, with respect to "Rebuilding America's Defenses" it is clear that both the causes and effects of globalization lead to a continuous, competitive struggle for global power. Globalization has caused the United States of America to become an unrivaled world super power . As a result, the government of America feels that they must protect themselves and their position. In order to do this, they must secure their standing at whatever cost. This defense report discusses the methods in which the United States of America must undertake in order to remain at the top of the geopolitical ladder for as long as possible. Unfortunately for America, this is a constant struggle. Although America is unrivaled economically and defensively, there are potentially powerful countries that are willing to change the balance of global power . The world, according to this Defense Report, under the global leadership of the United States of America, is one of peace. If Pax Americana, of peace with American global leadership, is to continue, American needs to maintain its international standing in which globalization has placed it . The Defense Report argues that in order to preserve America's position in the geopolitical hierarchy, it needs a strong military, a well-defined foreign policy and powerful government whose aim is to sustain America's place in the world. The report suggests that the fundamental course of action is to spend more money on America's military . A strong military is the only approach to maintaining American peace. In the past, potentially strong states have attempted to disrupt the balance of global power, with specific focus on America's standing. The Defense Report argues that so far, the United States have averted these struggling attempts with the assistance of the army . However, due to budget cut backs, less money has found its way to military and defense, and as a result, the military has come to a bad state.
