    Many scholars note that major dimensions of contemporary societal organization have been transformed and that global modernity/post-modernity is a new mode of societal structuring - in other words, the "end of civilization." However, confusion arises because many people identify modernity with "Western Civilization," rather than recognizing that Western Civilization was probably the first old-style civilization to be destroyed by modernity.
