The generation I belong to is considered as post modern, we are known to be more tolerant and susceptive to change. This cultural change has helped most of us greatly to adopt to an increasingly smaller world, by smaller i don't mean geographically but in terms of travel, people with often different cultures are increasingly interacting with one another. Our one can argue that this was perhaps made possible due to our post modern thinking other than the advances in travel. Lets imagine the world without modern or post modern people in which social darwinism still exists and one culture looks down upon the other, people would be less likely to interact with other to avoid conflicts etc.
There is the other factors to considered like do we all adopt a uniform culture of post modernism, not necessarily post modernism is not about becoming one culture but about celebrating the diversity of cultures. Lets look at example to avoid racist thinking we often consider ourselves "color blind" but now we celebrate our colors features and ideas. these are a few of the defining aspects of post modernism.
Now the question is where the 21st century take us?
