Resumo

Este trabalho propõe o conceito de modernidade global a partir da observação de dados mundiais. O conceito busca oferecer uma perspectiva integrativa que considera múltiplas dimensões da vida, a partir de no mínimo quatro dimensões inter-relacionadas: indivíduo, cultura, organismo e sistemas sociais.

Por meio de uma perspectiva histórica da economia, e questões como a redução da pobreza, a ascensão da cidade, a educação formal, a ciência e a academia, dentre outros diversos campos, constrói-se o debate sobre o conceito, ilustrado pelo desenvolvimento moderno e sua velocidade. Ao comparar as mudanças ocorridas em décadas recentes aos séculos anteriores, o texto sugere que a modernidade global pode ser considerada a ferramenta sociológica utilizada para elucidar a rapidez em que essas mudanças ocorrem, bem como suas dimensões e consequências; o que termina por ilustrar o contexto da sociedade mundial.
