The term ‘something’ is the concept connected with the globalization march. The
concept of ‘nothing’ is connected to glocalization process. ‘Something’ is looked

upon as more beneficial than ‘nothing’. Accordingly, the glocalization concept has

been formulated with the interactions between globality and locality spheres
(Hemantha-Kumara, 2018a). Even though this conceptual analyse is though

employed to explain the current globalization march, this researcher makes use of it
on behalf of a community which is labelled as rural people of a non-western

country, to identify the contemporary patterns of gender.
