Modernity Is An Unending Project

Modernity is an ongoing project that is constantly evolving over time and across different domains. It progresses through changes in economic systems, from feudalism to capitalism, and isolation to global interdependence. Politically, modernity has seen the shift from clans to nation states and changes in governance. Socially, societies have transformed from agricultural clans to nuclear family structures with rapid urbanization and changing cultural values. Scientifically, theories and medical technologies continue to advance with no foreseeable limits, from life-saving drugs to space exploration. As modernity progresses, there are unintended consequences like nuclear proliferation, wars, and economic conflicts.
