Globalization involving increasing dispersion of the social is the greatest transplanetary change in the history of humanity. Prior to the current epoch of globalization, the essence of people as well as the things, places, and services that surrounded them had a distinctive substantive content, representing “something” – a social form that was indigenously produced and had rather stable features over time as commodities tended to be used in the place of their origin. Globalization established a “borderless world” of realities with the domination of “nothing” referring to a social form that is mainly produced on a global level by transnational network enterprises. As a result, the social is losing its distinctive nature. At the same time, glocalization that is more tied to something opposes globalization, so in real life people deal with the something–nothing continuum consisting of four major subtypes: place–nonplace; thing–nonthing; people–nonpeople; and service–nonservice
