Document Summary
Modernity refers to modes of social life/organization which emerged in europe from about the 17th century onwards and which subsequently become more or less worldwide in their influences. According to giddens, the introduction of the consequences of modernity, modernity is multidimensional on the level of institution . With this lack of unity between both social groups, the rise of inequality occurs and modernity shifts to a more pre-capitalist society. To conclude, modernity is moving towards science and starts to forget religion. Mythistory seems true to one historian will seem false to another, so one historian"s truth becomes another"s myth. According to mcneil in mythistory, or truth, myth, history and historians, he defines mythistory as a movement form what is to what ought to be. In other words, mythistory is the notion of uncovering the indubitable form the mix of innate and truth, blending history with ideology and to move away from temptations.
