Is modernization likey to continue in the U.S.?

Answer 1

As a sociologist this question is a two fold issue. Modernization will occur routinely from here out, however, actually most of the work on this issue considers us in an era called post-modernity. Writers in postmoderism consider the boundaries in society to be quite gray, and not clear. Foucault, Baulliard, Gergens and many others even consider us to be in a postcultural era where there really is no mainstream culture anymore. The book by Gergens the "Saturated Self" has a great picture on the cover that shows a chinese restaurant selling italian, american, and mexican food all under one roof, thus eluding to the fact that really none of the cuisines are really attached to a culture anymore. I believe a lot of this while not directly mentioned too much is theorist actually trying to deal with and discuss the anomic condition the globe and countries are in where the norms and expectations change daily and behaviors are more random than organized in a mainstream since. Lastly, another interesting point to modernity is the notion of a "technocracy" replacing democracy.
