Document Summary

We are trying to decipher the signs of the times: this is not an exact science. One"s view of the current state of the world is informed by one"s perspective on things, much like the story of the blind men trying to describe the elephant. Global studies: an interdisciplinary understanding of different dimensions of our present condition. Globality signifies (cid:3247)a social condition characterized by tight global economic, political, cultural, and environmental interconnections and flows that make most of the currently existing borders irrelevant(cid:3248) (steger, 9). Social condition = state of our era/time in which we live. Gianni vattimo wrote the end of modernity. Asked if we were entering a post modern age. Would have to know what was modern to know if we were postmodern. Is it more of the same, i. e. the continuation of the (cid:3247)unfinished project of modernity(cid:3248)? the extension of the logic of modernity on a global scale.
