Globalization, though, has generated a lot of controversy with regard to the rise of a global culture.

The purpose of this article is to examine the effect of globalization on Qatari culture. The sample in this study consisted of (36) participants of Qatari nationality. Employing the focus group interview technique, a semi-structured questionnaire was used as a research method.
