I need an understanding of the issues of modernity?
Answers
Explanation:
It is generally agreed that ‘modernity’ refers to a powerful set of cultural, political, economic, and spatial relationships that have fundamentally influenced the nature of social life, the economy, and the use and experience of time and space. The general characteristics of these relationships include: an emphasis upon rationality and science over tradition and myth; a belief in progress and improvement; confidence in human mastery over nature; a focus on humanism, individuality, and self-consciousness; a close association to the birth and development of market capitalism; and a strong reliance upon the state and its legal and governmental institutions.
Answer:
Though modernity may have made us materially abundant, it has imposed a heavy emotional toll: it has alienated us bred envy, increased shame, seperated us from one another, bewildered us, forced us to grin inauthentically and left us restless and unranged.
