Traits_Of_A_Modern_World

Traits Of A Modern World Modern ideas are first formed from a simple hypothesis, with little evidence and much hope of truth lying beneath. These ideas become more greatly researched, and develop and change over time, due to more evidence. The modern societies today are such as this, with greatly updated advancement, but true to their original roots, of ancient times, when the beliefs and ideas were only theories, not facts to be found true. According to A History of the Modern World, there is “in our time a kind of uniform modern civilization which overlies or penetrates the traditional cultures of the world.” Some of these traits are pressures for an increased democracy, countries affecting each other’s growth, and Europe holding the key to the traditional times, which date back to ancient times. One example of using ancient times as a basis for modern civilization is the pressures for an increased democracy. In order for a country to improve its social and ethical conditions, changes must be made in the political powers to help its affected state grow. “…and all modern governments, democratic or not, must seek to arouse the energies and support of their populations” (Palmer 10).
