Summary |
The book refers to apparently universal accomplishments such as modern science and technology, democratic forms of government, urbanization, and so on.
On this account, modernity is opposed to tradition and replaces it everywhere with a rational ‘technoculture,’ rooted in the spread of a unique technological system.
If this is true, there is only one modernity and it is gradually erasing the cultural memory of humankind and homogenizing the globe. Insurance there days has become an indispensable part of human life because of the uncertainty of the things. In a way it is also a saving of the earned incomes of the people.
