Modern days look rough as we go through the 21th century old testimonies and ideas. Through out that time we lived in a western capitalistic prospective unaware of the conciseness and impact in the future generations and the environment. Despite past warnings such as the Great Depression in The 30's, Stock Exchange Collapse in the 80's, Economic Crisis 2012, and the Environmental Disasters, we had manage to fail again to tangle those long time infections and beliefs.
Human Rights still in question such as equality in race, women rights and atheism etc, are questionable by a god blessed capitalistic idea through out despotism. The 21th century could be categorized as an "odd era" with tensions rise in all civil structures and all political structures. Civil structures because the utopia of capitalism offered "a dream on lifestyle" to hard working people, cultural dissimulation, media dependance, unawareness of surrounding and selfishness "hydroponic behavior" which was not applicable to all. Under those articles the political elite aware of the masses mutation hidden by success and planting the future new ideas, managed to overcome periods of discomfort and created the 21st century crisis which unfolds the cards of the future humanity day by day based on previous achievements, with more wars, more taxes and at the end more way's to control civil servants in modern society (enslaving). Those politicians of the former capitalistic federation of democracy little have to offer in modern life except corruption, dishonesty and amputating countries in poverty. Environment, sharing a mutual core with in the modern "hydroponic" lifestyle went upset with more distraction such as super storms, tsunamis, and global warming, ideals that will keep for some century's. Efforts to save environment have been made or been made but only to clean up the mess from industrial disasters of oil production and other "nuclear" activities with not much success.
As far communistic and deep in democracy both tactics have failed to approach new human evolution and balance practical ways of living, existing peacefully and creating environmental boundaries, so each of as can enjoy harmony within the future.
