Is there a crisis of meaning in the contemporary world?

Answer 1

The "crisis of meaning" is better interpreted as "losing a grip on reality." The majority of the world is lost in a fantasy world that is a combination of media hype, religious frenzy, and rampant egoism.

The use of higher reasoning and the quest for wisdom is almost non-existent.

Answer 2

Most things have a consistent meaning throughout the world. Its only unusual cultures which differ meanings from the norm substantially. Powers tend to war against different cultures, and war is a crisis, so yes, there is a crisis of meaning.

Answer 3

Crisis of confusion. Hearts are being hardened to children.
Evil is called good. Life is becoming less important. Great criticism of everything seems to increase daily especially among politicians.

Answer 4

i do believe there is, at least here in america where the mindset is 'more, more, more, bigger bigger bigger' but soon i think there will be a shift on to better things...hopefully one day we will all realize that we can do alot of good for this world instead of blowing each other up all the damn time
