Abstract
The prevalence and increase, specially in recent years, of diverse problems (social, economic environmental) particularly in Latin America have led various sectors to question globalization as a convenient model for the development of these countries. In this article we present and analyse, in general terms, some notions, characteristics and implications of globalization, from two antagonistic versions: The first of them refers to the notion of globalization from the point of view of its creators and adepts, while the second one is based on the version ellaborated by its oponents. In this regard, we present some similarities between the first version with the dominant paradigm in science and between the second one with emergent paradigms. Thus, in the first version globalization is understood as the unique, universal, undeniable and irreversible reality, whereas in the second one various constructions regarding globalization, which signify this phenomenon as culturally and historically constructed and hence dynamic, are formulated. This second version serves us as base for analysing the impact of globalization on economically deprived communities in our continent and simultaneously for illustrating the potentialities of these communities, empowered through the contributions of community social psychology, for resisting unfavourable effects of globalization upon them.

This second version serves us as base for analysing Esta segunda versión es la que nos sirve como base the impact of globalization on economically deprived para analizar el impacto de la globalización en communities in our continent and simultaneously for comunidades en situación de desventaja económica en illustrating the potentialities of these communities, nuestro continente y a la vez para plantear las empowered through the contributions of community potencialidades de éstas, fortalecidas a través de las social psychology, for resisting unfavourable effects of contribuciones de la psicología social comunitaria, para globalization upon them. resistir los efectos desfavorables que sobre ellas tiene la globalización
Estos fundamentos: a) comparten una noción de las comunidades como entidades dinámicas, gestoras de su propio destino, cuyos conocimientos y experiencias merecen ser escuchados y difundidos, al igual que lo son los saberes privilegiados por la ciencia; b) las realidades de estos sujetos no son únicas ni independientes de ellos, sino múltiples, históricas, construídas socialmente en sus interacciones sociales y vinculadas al contexto particular en el que ocurren; c) conciben al profesional como facilitador y copartícipe de procesos orientados al cambio; d) postulan una relación simétrica, horizontal, de respeto mutuo entre el profesional y los sujetos; relación en la que ambos se nutren y transforman; comprometen sus afectos, sus saberes, sus experiencias, y orientan sus acciones hacia el cambio social antes mencionado; e) enfatizan la unión entre teoría y praxis, de modo que la teoría se construye a partir de la reflexión crítica de la acción (concientización), y conforma un tipo de saber que articula el conocimiento científico con el popular
