the implications of modernization towards the society?
339491
Modernization means a great change for many countries. As you can see some effects of modernization is the outsourcing of business in other countries. That means less job for some countries while a great opportunity for other countries offering cheap labor cost. Other effects of modernization I think is the way people lives. Like now at our times, technology affects how we live our lives everyday. Cellphones and internet have largely affected the way we communicate with each other.

Miss Manners thinks it to be important for you to pose this question and for you and others to ponder the demise of manners.  Some of you have made important observations.\n\nTake a close look at society and culture before the 1960s and you will find many clues to the revolutions of our times.

A modern society is any society in existence today, because modern means contemporary. And an industrial society is any society that engages in large-scale industry, which is: "diligent activity directed to some purpose". A diligent activity is an activty that is "marked by persevering, painstaking effort", such as farming. There is no use of factories and machines that cause pollution or require pollution to build them, because these are mere luxuries, with which we can do without, however we can not live with out a healthy environment.\n\nEventually we will have to abandon the current technologies and machinery that require pollution on small-scale and large-scale. The alternative to the luxurious life of electricity and automobiles, is the farm life, a life in which we use nothing but simple tools and "raw human labor". The reason why we have to get rid of non-farming activities, is because they inevitably lead to pollution-causing activities and technologies.\n\nThe most important thing on Earth is food, without food, we won't be able to live, the world has a lot of war and crime due to lack of access to adequate food, which is a result of poverty. Poverty is a result of capitalism. Capitalism is a result of the pollution-causing industries that are making the world have global warming and causing health problems for many people.\n\nIf we abolish capitalism with all of its pollution and over-population centers (towns and cities), and replace it with a return to the countryside on a socialist basis with no capitalist inventions, than the world will be saved from the large-scale permanent contamination that would eventually destroy all agriculture, which is the basis for out food. This will not only put an immediate stop to further permanent polluting of the environment, but will also get rid of all the crime and war in the world by getting rid of hunger.\n\nFor more information and conversation, please contact me at S0C1AL1ST@yahoo.com or yahoo messenger ID: S0C1AL1ST

I think we stand on the cusp of understanding a great deal more about the human body thanks to the recent break throughs in technics and technology supporting Genetics research. Where that future takes us or it will come is hard to say. Even harder to predict is the sociological impacts these develops could bring about. Whatever happens I am sure medicine will take a giant step forward and lots of the ailments that plague us now will be resolved. The result is people will live longer  and live better.

Industrialization born out of necessities.  Population has grown and demand  for commodities as well.  Families working together makes more time in working in other fields and thus having an ample time at each other.  Opportunities grew also fused by competition.  Education and knowledge has become imperative in the industry.  People then became self sufficient.  The society is still there the same, what changed is the culture.

The major challenge that I can think of at the moment that is unique to the 21st century is to overcome the fictional movie stereotypes that are being established.\n\nAll the rest of the obstacles have been around a lot longer than the 21st century, so I don't need to rehash them. The idealization of super-competence, super-compassion, super-everything seems to be dominating television and extends to all fields, not just jurisprudence. There is an aura of unrealistic expectations being created by many of the dramas. \n\nPeople are going to be blamed for not living up to these unrealistic expectations through no fault of their own other than being human like everyone else.

Now. Just OMO.\n  We live in luxury and comfort, with health and longevity, medical care and security, social and otherwise, enjoyed by even the lowest classes in society, that the Aristocrats, Kings and Emperors of the past, would envy, including our Education. Intellectual life was never so good, and\nwe are overwhelmed with the variety and ways we can entertain ourselves. \n  I believe that future civilisations will look back on us now as a Golden Age, perhaps calling us Roosevelts America, as some historians refer to Pericles Athens as the highpoint and golden Age of Athens and Greece.

agree with you as the best times I remember were family orientated. seems as though modern society in having to make a living has taken over

no, i'm not satisfied with today's lifestyle.\nthough we might have increase in technology, science, etc.\nwe have a decrease in the qualities of life. more individu suffering, more broken family, more poverty.\ni do admire the neolitics era where people live in small community, independent, they fulfill their need themselves, they have lands (since industrial revolution, many people lost their land to small powerful people), they know each other neightbour very well.\n\nbut it isn't impossible to have those life qualities for present, everthing changes and evolves. the main problem for present is global inequality. greed capitalism. consumerism. environment crises. greed. ignorance. we just have to re-establish on our perception on meaning of life, the world.

If you are referring to Enlightenment as a movement that emerged in Europe... in the present day discourses... postmodernism seems to be up in arms against the notion of this universal Euro-centric 'enlightenment'.  The present day social theorists see Enlightenment as part of the European colonizing mission where a certain kind of rationality with European experience as a role model was imposed on the rest of the world which in turn had nothing to offer but only to catch up with the West and modernize.\n\nPersonally, i am weary of going overboard with this present day trend, which is letting all kinds of weird irrational locally dominating ideas to assert themselves against modernity.  Various fundamentalist religious movements are questioning the regime of reason by suggesting that one truth is equal to the other so we will follow ours whatever the consequences!  Evolution and creationism are projected as equal.  The boundary between myth and science is being collapsed.  There is a great danger in this tendency, however exciting it may appear, for the end of reason means proliferation of multitudes of lunacy and parochialisms which are hard to manage...   More on request!

Not yet.  We will be once our demands outstrip our resources.  Then it will be like the Dark Ages in Europe when many will die from pestilence and war.  After that, there will be more resources available per person than there has been in a long time.  There will be what can only be considered a new Renaissance.

There was a time not so long ago when the future looked promising....end of the cold war, the emergence of people power in harsh regimes, popular culture's role in addressing the world's starving, the advances in science that promised the eradication of disease and poverty, etc.  Now it seems that the "old order" has reasserted itself and the most powerful governments of the world are once again committed to jingoistic warmongering activities that place us all at risk once more.  Unfortunately those human traits that are no longer required but have survived evolution to date (greed, fear, aggression) are still a driving force behind most, if not all of, world politics today.  Strangely enough, everyone knows deep down the correct path to take......just no-one has the guts.

It depends on the situations and the cultural settings.\nAttitudes ,values and lifestyles are fast changing and replacing with new ,especially with reard to people living in highly industrialized cosmopolitan and dynamic societies. \n\nSelecting the right tools& techniques to extract the information from tbe Target population on various VALS parameters required for decision making (strategic planning) is the main problem. Moreover,it requires a practical psycho-sociological approach to understand and address various issues involved .\nThe right segementation of the target population based on the Psychographic traits & charecterstics is extremely important in this case.  To sum up, If someone is able to gather qualitative and wholistic information that can be validated ,VLAS would make an excellent tool for strtegic decision making.

In the 1950's (in the UK) people were told work hard and save, come the 21st century you'll have better lifestyles. Work less hours, retire early and have loads of spare time to enjoy life and be living in a Sci-Fi type future. People had great expectations.\nWell all that seems have gone pear shaped, as people are working longer hours, expected to retire later and now have very little time to enjoy their lives. \n21st century? More like the 1940's. And I can't see the future getting any better.\nSorry to be a sourpuss.
