The modern time
Being modern meant being in step with the times and the very latest in knowledge and technology, art, music and literature.
Modernism entailed a questioning of old traditions and an openness to all changes.
The modern man experiences living in a turmoil. It is difficult to find meaning in life and everything is in its own choice. This leads to a feeling of anxiety, loneliness, alienation and lack of identity. This gives birth to a belief that happiness and meaning are elsewhere - a need that can never be satisfied. The hero of the modern world is a traveler without goals, constantly on the road to new experiences.
More and more people get access to for example the electricity and electronic.
