Question

1.1.3 journal: write your own narrative of the modern era

Answer 1

Themes related to the history of the world since 1917 like unresolved
global conflicts, decolonization and nationalism after World War II, human rights and civil rights: working toward social injustice, and globalization still apply to us to this day. Immigration applies to us today and is an example of globalization, the Black Lives Matter
Movement is an example of society working toward social justice, Nationalism in the contemporary United States, for example, the September 11 attacks of 2001 led to a wave of
nationalist expression in the United States, and finally, since the United States withdrew from the
JCPOA in May 2018, tensions have risen between the United States and Iran resulting in unresolved conflict. The major consequences of globalization have been the transmogrification
of traditional religions and belief systems, the growth of nationalism leads to the process of decolonization, unresolved global conflicts leave governments with tension and can end
violently, and finally, working toward social justice impacts people only in good ways.

Understanding these historical themes can help solve current problems because we can
analyze the theme and see a pattern. By understanding the themes more thoroughly, we're able to
understand and articulate the deep-rooted patterns of the problems and see how we can resolve
the negative effects or develop and grow from the experience. It is crucial to look at world
problems in their historical and cultural contexts. It is important because for example, if people
were not to look thoroughly for the context and causation of a problem, the full story wouldn't be
heard and the solution would result in an unfair resolution, it would be biased. All in all, it is
crucial to understand the four themes related to the history of the world because they can help find a better solution to conflicts in the world happening today.

Answer 2

Modern era is the time when people tends to favor fast access and instant sanctification. This make the companies that can generally make people do less effort to obtain a certain things tend to be successful in the market.

The socialization in the modern era also really different compared to the previous era. Direct interaction has been slowly replaced with a more anonymous interaction through the use of social media.

Even though this make it really easy to interact with other people from a far distance, it make private/meaningful relationship become more difficult to achieve.
