How can I write about modernization when I, myself have no idea about it? How does it come? What does it signify?
And I really get confused when someone pompously produces, 'I am modern' or 'My thoughts are modern' or 'I need a modern girl for marriage'. This fact needs more enlightenment as the grand modernization enters with slow and steady steps in the civilization without notice. It is mandatory, omnipresent, unstoppable proposition that might make a human of an animal.
Humans have been a strange species. Our ancestors learnt to stand straight, cook food, domesticate plants and animals, and reproduce at their own will, again distinguishing themselves from the seasonal maters, and of course modernizing themselves. Use of fire, invention of wheel, co-operation over competition, neogeny, and all the development....
Having a conscience, reacting to stimuli- strangely to the emotional ones, made us more modern.
We grew up to be infantile adults. Our children were slow developers and mothers had to pay more attention to them. There was a risk of a female getting involved with another male and produce more children thereby, producing confusion and increasing the burden on the single parent. Result, a bond-pair was formed. That was the first major Modernization Phase of evolving human beings; controlling their sex-drives or focusing the whole on a single partner. Today, we call it marriage.
I won't go in to Biology much, but have we really modernized? The pair-bonding has failed miserably under the title of infidelity. Rest are details. Modernization of first phase is deteriorating in the name of wrong choices and sometimes, cultural differences.
We, the humans have largest brains and largest penises. What needs to be controlled more?
Modernization says, ".............."
