has western civilization changed too fast?

All civilizations evolve over time, but none has evolved so fast and so dramatically as Western civilization has since the colonial expansion period began after 1492.

Compared to other civilizations over the same period, the West was traveling at light years while the others were standing still. Bearing in mind, though, that during the Dark Ages under repressive Christianity Western civilization went backwards, it had a lot of catching up to do before it surged ahead of the others.

That so many people in western nations are still going through a painful identity crisis attests to the fact that the most dramatic change since 1492 has happened in recent years - since 1945 - and it never seems to stop.

Many fear that Western civilization has changed too far, too fast, and that the end is nigh - but change, even rapid change, does not necessarily bode of terrible times ahead.

It may be politically expedient to feed into the dark fears of the population, but if western nations had leaders with vision of a good future ahead for everyone - not just western nations - then everyone would be calling for faster change!
