Chitchanok,
Use the RealOnly standard package.
Needs["Miscellaneous`RealOnly`"]
(-1)^(1/3)
-1
Plot[x^(1/3)*(3 + x)^(2/3), {x, -2, 2}];
works without any error messages.
The problem with the RealOnly package is that, once you load the package,
you can't turn the feature off without quitting the kernel. Ted Ersek has a
package on MathSource called SwitchableRealOnly that allows you to turn the
real only feature on and off and is somewhat more robust in other ways.
