Which is the most accurate word to describe the changes in contemporary societies?
We live in a world of quite dramatic change. Some thinkers believe that the world is changing as fundamentally today as happened with the early development of industrial society in the late eighteenth century. I think there is a good deal of truth in this view. There are three major sets of changes happening in contemporary societies and it is the task of sociology to analyze what they mean for our lives today. They are the following:
First, it’s the impact of globalization. "Globalization" refers to our increasing interdependence. Our lives are more closely fled than ever before to events and happenings many miles away, sometimes even on the other side of the world. The influence of globalization is everywhere, including in the poorest countries in the world. Its most obvious expression is to be found in the role of financial markets, whose fluctuations affect each and every one of us. But globalization isn’t just economic: it refers also to the increasing intensity of communication, and to greater cultural and political integration. The past few years have seen a revolution in communications, linked to the connection of satellite technology to computers. We can communicate with anyone, at any point in the earth, and at any time in an instantaneous way. Instantaneous communication changes many aspects of how we live. Cultural globalization is evident in the spread of the English language around the world and in the films and TV programs that are sometimes seen by hundreds of millions of people in different countries. Politically, the world is more inter-connected than it ever was before: most governments now recognize that there are many decisions which can’t be tackled simply on a national level—an example is ecological issues, which truly need to be confronted globally as well as locally.
The second big influence is that of technological change. Information technology is altering many of the ways in which we work and in which we live. The nature of the jobs people do, for example, has been transformed.
