Summary/Abstract: Globalization as both a social and a historical phenomenon is undoubtedly manifested as one of the determinants of the axiological crisis. The positive and negative consequences of globalization in the axiological realm certainly exist, and reflection on them and their connection with the education of modern man is needed. Knowledge of values must be one of the foundations of education for the members of modern globalizing societies. The acquisition of the axiological competence by the student is, however, multi-step. Different stages of education, for various reasons, are sometimes too short. The student may feel alienated and treated objectively. To effect this can be to take away from certain values such as constancy, sense of security, sense of community and others. These are typical threats in globalizing societies, which must be countered. Education plays an indispensable positive role in defining what, on the basis of what values, shape the future of humanity and the world that it creates.
