Post Modern Era

As far as the post modern era goes I feel like we are most definitely in a new era.  I would put the beginning of this new era around the time that the world wide web started.  When the masses had access to the wide expanse of communication and information. The internet has become our new tool, a tool that has shaped the way we view the world.  our ideologies have changed, the way we raise our children have changed.  we are moving from country governments to world governments.  We now compete to for dominance not by taking over land and making an empire but by controlling the flow if information on the internet. 

 

Everything is different now.  With all the good that the internet has brought to the world it has also brought new ways for the bad to show itself.  I don't think the internet has caused more bad people in this world but it did make it easier for bad people to do bad things.  This world is becoming easier to be destroyed because the tools we use to destroy it are easier to obtain with the internet.  Looking forward what this world needs for us is four things:

 

Perspective

Compassion

Understanding

Bravery

 

We need to have PERSPECTIVE to see the other side of the events of the world.  We need COMPASSION to keep in mind the feelings and pain of others around the world.  We need UNDERSTANDING of the way others do things in different parts of the world.  We need BRAVERY to do the right things to fix the world no matter how difficult it may be or how unpopular in is.  If the people of the world do not take on these values then the world history of man will see its last chapter.
