Abstract

[In 1900, citizensAdams, Samuel Hopkins, Collier’s in Western societies exhibited a combination of zeal and practiced apathy towards the impending modernity of their worlds. Some were brimming with promise and hope, but most looked out their residences with trepidation. Wage earners had made strides, gaining access to consumer goods, and new types of commercial empires rose. However, storm clouds were on the horizon, as old alliances crumbled and businesses reacted in accordance. Europe within two decades would not be the same again, as Russia imploded then rose, France and Britain heaved to, Germany though not invaded was crushingly humiliated, and the United States emerged as a reluctant global player in international relations. Marxism now had an application, or so it was thought, and the stair-stepped progress argument for industrialized nations pointing towards a utopian society was reborn. As Modernism’s promise came crashing down in the World Wars, for those that reveled in their own magnificence, science was a lever by which nations expressed themselves technologically; all the while crafting a unified monoculture that they believed was just as important to their own identities.]
