Contemporary society

Contemporary society, according to social and political scientists, is characterized by at least three fundamental directions: - increasing human interconnection through a network of relationships that is progressively covering the whole planet; - the pace and depth of the evolution of human ways of life determined by technological innovation represent an absolute novelty in human history; - the scale of anthropological and ecological transformation due to the interaction between evolutionary factors (social, cultural, economic, and technological) has no historical precedent. These presentations are the result of a number of fundamental changes that are irreversibly transforming our daily lives, our way of thinking and perceiving the world, and our way of living together. Among these fundamental changes are: improvements in living conditions, life expectancy, literacy, and gender equality; changes in domestic and international political institutions; and the breakdown of natural equilibria.
