Modernity: Crises, Change, Opportunity, Hope, A Century
of Transition, 1900-Present According to many scholars, the world has changed more in the last century than in the previous ten millennia combined, experiencing periods of boundless optimism, terrible crises, war and despair, the liberation of vasts swaths of the developing world, and rapid technological, economic, social, and cultural change. Why, how, and to what extent has the world changed over the last century, and what strands of continuity can we detect in the world over the last century? Also, what patterns of human behavior and civilizational development can we detect, and what phenomena seem rooted in unique historical contexts? Through film, primary and secondary sources, and historical simulations, explore this dramatic century when modernity and tradition often collide and the pace of technological change only seems to accelerate.
