I think you have to go back way further than 2000. Things are pretty much the same in my opinion.

The 20th Century was a time of great change.  It was also a time of great turmoil.  World War I, World War II, The holocaust, The invention and use of atomic weapons, The Korean War, The Veitnam Conflict, Civil Rights Riots and Lynchings, The drug culture, The beginning of the Aids epedimic, The wholesale murder of millions of people around the globe in places like South Africa.  The great music and movies of the 20th Century may well have been an artistic attempt to deal with a very unorganized and frightening time in our history.  Many people theorize that great art grows out of turmoil.  I hope and pray that the 21st Century be a time of greater peace.  You are right to say we are not off to a great start.  But even with the tragedy of this war on terror we find ourselves presently in, it does not compare even remotely to the carnage of WW I, or WWII.  I pray it never catches up.  We have an opportunity to build a better world.  Freedom, equality, peace, no more hunger.  Now that would be truly awesome!  It didn't happen in the 20th century.  Will we make it happen in this century?  I hope.

We are currently in the 21st Century. Since a century represents 100 years. In calendars based on the Christian Era or Common Era, such as the Gregorian calendar, the 21st century is the current century, as of this writing. By some interpretations, it lasts from 2001-2100, and the 3rd millennium lasts from (2001 - 3000). This is based on the argument that there was no Year Zero, so the first century began in year 1http://www.astronomyboy.com/millennium/. However, common usage often regards the 21st century as lasting from 2000 to 2099. In 2000 the International Organization for Standardization implicitly backed this common usage by declaring that there was a Year Zero (see 20th century). Decades are almost always considered as starting with the "0" year and named accordingly ("2010s", etc.), so the first decade of a century could overlap back into the preceding one.

It is 100 years ago.  Each century is 100 years.  We are now in the 21st century.  That happened when we hit 2000.  The millennium.  So the 20th century was between 1900 and 2000.  100 years.
