Give examples to support your argument.

Answer 1

This sounds like a school homework question to me...

Answer 2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Modernity and the contemporary society: There is an ongoing debate about the relationship between modernity and present societies. The debate has two dimensions. First, there is an empirical question of whether some of the present societies can be understood as a developmental continuation of modernity (see late modernity), a variation of modernity (see hypermodernity), or as a distinctive type (see postmodernity). Second, there is a judgement of whether modernization has been, and is, desirable for a society. Seemingly new phenomena such as globalization, the end of the Cold War, ethnic conflicts, and the proliferation of information technologies are taken by some as reasons to adopt a new vision to navigate social development. However modernity came with a structure of self-determination which is greatly seen in contemporary societies.

Culture: New attitudes towards religion, with the church diminished, and a desire for personal freedoms, induced desires for sexual freedoms, which were ultimately accepted by large sectors of the Western World. Theories of "free love" and uninhibited sex were touted by radicals only later in the 1960s.

Equality of the sexes in politics and economics, women's liberation movement, gay rights for homosexuals (Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf) and the freedom afforded by contraception allowed for greater personal choices in these intimate areas of personal life.

In Indian culture, caste divisions continued, but lost its affiliation with occupations, as competitive exams became universal.

As a conclusion, homosexual relationships were accepted while the women's rights were trying to gain power.

The paradox of modernity: Modernization brought a series of seemingly indisputable benefits to people. Lower infant mortality rate, decreased death from starvation, eradication of some of the fatal diseases, more equal treatment of people with different backgrounds and incomes, and so on. To some, this is an indication of the potential of modernity, perhaps yet to be fully realized. In general, rational, scientific approach to problems and the pursuit of economic wealth seems still too many a reasonable way of understanding good social development.

At the same time, some sociologists hold that modernity also has negative characteristics.

Technological development occurred not only in the medical and agricultural fields, but also in the military. The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, and the following nuclear arms race in the post-war era, were considered by some to be negative developments associated with modernity.

Answer 3

Too many people allow themselves to be controlled by secularists and dogmatic belief. They bring it upon themselves and are not free to love, live in peace, or control their need for negative attention which is readily available from places that mask themselves as "good" people.
