1. In the 'past'.

2. Translation - should be: ‘at present’.

3. ‘Due to’ should not go at the beginning of a sentence – should be: ‘We have western products in my country, due to globalization’.

4. ‘Social’ is an adjective – should be: ‘society’ (n).

5. ‘Jam’ or ‘traffic jam’ are nouns – here you need an adjective to describe the traffic, so it should be: ‘The traffic is very jammed’. However, that is not natural usage - probably better to say 'The traffic is very bad'.

6. ‘Addicted’ is an adjective – should be: ‘drug-addicts’ (n).

7. ‘Healthy’ is an adjective – should be: ‘health’ (n).

8. There are 2 problems here:

                      - ‘urban’ is an adjective so it needs a noun to follow it – eg: ‘urban areas’

                      - ‘convenience’ is a noun so it should be the adjective form – ‘convenient’

9. Don’t use ‘etc’ or ‘et cetera’ – complete your sentences properly.

10. This is a translation problem – should be: ‘In my opinion’.
