Power is serving us in thousand ways. Rail routes, boats, and planes have destroyed distance and made travel quick and agreeable. The phone and the message have made correspondence quick and simple. The film, the radio, and TV have added another appeal to live. Medication and medical procedures have taken monstrous steps.

Nuclear energy has gotten various advantages for humankind. The marvels and wonders of science would legitimize us in honoring current human progress.

There is, be that as it may, a clouded side of the image too and in any assessment of present-day development, we should not close our eyes to it. A nearer investigation of current progress will uncover its deformities. In the political field, for example, there is a lot of cause for consternation and dissatisfaction. Our age has been an observer of two extraordinary conflicts that have impacted mankind.

A majority rules government has needed to confront serious difficulties and experience serious mishaps. The ascent of Fascism and Nazism, and Communism has been a serious threat to freedom, and a majority rules government. The death toll and property in the two universal conflicts were boundless. What's more, the obliteration made in these conflicts was mostly due to the dangerous weapons designed by science.

Once more, our modern progress has created an unfavorable outcome for well-being and magnificence. We need to live in blocked towns and inhale air that is debased with production line smoke. The utilization of hardware has demonstrated a blended gift.

This large number of propensities is reflected in books, periodicals, artistic creations, and movies. There is a sprout of sexual entertainment in writing. Pictures of the naked are becoming well known. Profanity is safeguarded for the sake of craftsmanship.

Religion appears to have no bearing in current civilization. Science has shaken individuals' confidence in God. God and the spirit are currently outdated ideas. Our human progress is materialistic. Profound qualities never again oversee the activities of individuals. With the deficiency of profound confidence, individuals have additionally lost their principal backing and wellspring of encouragement in the hour of pain. There is a rising disappointment with life.
