Sorry to say, your essay seems to portray the technological evolution and progress of the human race. That's not what has been asked in the question. Modernity is a world view and it should have been dealt on ideological and ontological grounds. Per question, one needs to identify Modernity as an idea/ideology and its status in the contemporary world. Has it become "an unending project" ? or is there any possibility of its being evaporated/defeated/deconstructed by any other idea/world-view (existing or new) ? It was a philosophical and theoretical proposition asked in the question. In my opinion, you, unfortunately, could not grasp the core/scope of the question. I hope you would consider my criticism in a positive and constructive manner. Thanks I did attempt the same essay. I briefly remember my outline: Introduction: Modernity could be an ending project due to natural order of history and its dialectical process Thesis statement of Modernity: Man is an autonomous rational being. Brief history and origin of Modernity: Reformation, renaissance, Enlightenment, Romanticism Movements Display of Modernity as an unending Project: Concept of Modern State & Hegemonic globalization of Modernity. Capitalism and economic exploitation of the globe. Thesis of "The End of History and the Last Man" by Francis Fukuyama Deconstruction of Modernity: (Referring to the fact that Modernity could be an ending project) Marxism and its historical materialism. Deconstruction of Modern Thought and its hegemony..."Specters of Marx" by Jacques Derrida. Anti-Modernity and anti-Capitalism school of thought...Jean-Paul Sartre, Antonio Gramsci, etc. Brexit dialect. USA Elections and its implications. Conclusion: Modernity is a worldview/ideology. A stronger and popular worldview/idea (new or old) could bring down Modernity. 21st Century events apparently depict the process of ending of the Modernity project. etc. |

I am astonished to see that any aspirant has referred to Gramsci and Jacques Derrida. I think that project of modernity practically started with French Revolution.French revolution was theoritically inspired by humanist and rationalist project of enlightenment. Abolition of feudalism, end of monarchy,freedom of speech, democracy, secularism, abolition of slavery, women rights, constitutionalism & modern legislation, rights and duties of citizen,concept of modern nation state, division of power and many other projects are modernist projects initiated through French revolution. One of the revolutionary leader of French Revolution once remarked that we have accomplished a task of 600 years in 6 months. At the critical junctures of history it seemed that the project of modernism has come to its end like after Napoleon's defeat and Congress of Vienna, when old monarchy stormed back and almost all modernist achievements came to an end. After revolutions of 1831 and 1848 project of modernist returned back and struggle for democratic rights emerged with very powerful voice.First &Second world war were a great set back to humanist project of modernism but after the wounds of these two wars world Europe learned to live peacefully and this project of modernist spread all over the world. Now almost all main thinker of the world believe that future lies in democracy and modernity.Now there seems no chance that old monarchy, feudalism, dictatorship etc will ever overcome over modernist project. I will right a complete essay in detail on this topic in few days. |

Modernity is identified with its fundamental/thesis statement, i.e., "Man is an autonomous rational being". Modernity is a worldview/ideology. It started with the Reformation Movement of Martin Luther (1483–1546). It was followed by Renaissance, Enlightenment, Romanticism Movements. Whatever you mentioned in your comment is the dialectical process of its actualization in the history. It's still there and is the most hegemonic and dominant ideology. Let's see what your view-point is about it ! |

It would be good to first discuss challenges. Than write something about the causes & impacts of those challenges. Finally give your suggestions under the headline of prospects.

I want to ask a question. Is it compulsory that we should write a paragraph in only one tense? For example, I am writing a paragraph in the present tense and have to write something from the past. If yes, then how to avoid another tense and write in the same tense? How to excel in written expression? Thank you. |
