Abstract :

Globalization is a term that is closely related to culture and social and global identity. Global culture has grown along with the growth of global capitalism and the information transparency. When globalization becomes an avoidable wave that attacks all nations all over the world, it obviously gives a positive impac t that is the availability to see the life of people, especially women, who live in the other parts of the world. In western communities, women can do their double-roles openly. However, in some cases, globalization also motivates the strengthening of production roles. Women no longer only do their domestic roles. It has brought a change in women’s identity, especially in the Asian Communities, that are socially, ethnically, and traditionally different from the western communities. The emergence of global identities in the women’s roles, in fact, impacts the life of people in the third-world countries in Southeast Asia especially Indonesia. It has triggered the change of women social position in the society. Balinese women have known not only the double -roles but also another role that is social (the desa adat) role from long ago. In fact, in a study conducted in Bali shows that globalization has motivated the emergence of strengthening their social identities.
