Sažetak
This work tries to explore how a part of the student population
perceives the globalization phenomenon. According
to the definition used for the needs of the present study,
globalization is the emergence of social relations caused by
remote agents, the loss of power and authority of nation
states, and a process involving integration of national
economies into an integral world economy. The research
was conducted in October 2001 through a questionnaire
consisting of 36 offered answers divided into three groups:
a) understanding the concept of globalization, b) potential
impact of globalization, c) prospects and consequences of
globalization in Croatia. The survey covered a total of 338
subjects. The results show, according to the t-test, a
statistically significant variance with only few variables. Thus
the students of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine tend, inter
alia, to support the notion that globalization equals man's
domination over nature and is likely to disrupt the diversity of animal species. At the latent dimension level the following
factors are singled out: 1. Man's domination over nature
including its devastation, 2. Rich and safe Croatia, 3.
Endangered cultures and resistance to globalization
processes, 4. Supranational institutions and multiculturalness,
5. Markedly pessimistic stance to globalization processes in
Croatia, 6. Optimistic attitude to and faith in high tech.
