Abstract:

Globalization affects Samoan communities in many ways including individual members, their behaviour, actions reactions and desire for things that they see. These influences cause changes to the character and personality of an individual that eventually turn into a variety of events and issues. Unfortunately, many Samoan communities are unaware of the changes as well as the impacts of these changes upon individual member as well as the community as a whole. This study investigated 20 participants including senior management representatives for both public and private sectors, teachers, church ministers as well as family members. The goal was to explore their beliefs, their experiences, and personal perceptions about the impacts of globalization within Samoan communities. A qualitative research methodology was selected as the most appropriate design for this study. The data was collected using interviews and talanoa methods, transcribed and analyzed to develop relevant themes. The study confirms that the Samoan communities are influenced by various dimensions of globalization.
