ABSTRACT
Globalization creates global consciousness and socio-political impulse resulting to various reactions in form of human right abuses and crimes. The influence of globalization on social differentiation in the rural areas is determined by the degree of cultural complexities of the rural community.The relationship between the communities’ functional characteristics and globalization in Nigeria is the concern of this paper.
