	USC-MSA Compendium of Muslim Texts
		While the world of Islam has entered into the modern world in the form of national states, continuous attempts are made to create closer cooperation within the Islamic world as a whole and to bring about greater unity.
		In seeking to live successfully in the modern world, in independence and according to Islamic principles, Muslim countries have been emphasizing a great deal the significance of the role of education and the importance of mastering Western science and technology.
		In various parts of the Islamic world there is, however, a sense that educational institutions must be expanded and also have their standards improved to the level of the best institutions in the world in various fields of learning especially science and technology.

	Modern Times (history) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In this case, particular regions of the world may change their structural role in the world-economy, to their advantage, even though the disparity of reward between different sectors of the world-economy as a whole may be simultaneously widening.
		While the advantages of the core-states have not ceased to expand throughout the history of the modern world-system, the ability of a particular state to remain in the core sector is not beyond challenge.
		It was to Europe's credit that it was done, since without the thrust of the sixteenth century the modern world would not have been born and, for all its cruelties, it is better that it was born than that it had not been.

	The Crisis of the modern World, the New World Order and Kali Yuga (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Modern civilization has pushed man onward; it has generated in him the need for an increasingly greater number of things; it has made him more and more insufficient to himself and powerless.
		The modern world has case broken away from all historical awareness whereas "traditional" structures, for example the Greco-Roman or the Irano-Indian, were organized on the basis of their awareness of their own belonging, belonging that is, to the "eternal" unchanging cycles of human history.
		The characteristic of the modern Age, which can be equated with the "Age of Iron", the "Kali Yuga", outlines and forseen in nearly all pre-modern societies, is the loss of identity and the rise of collectivism, a characteristic of Bolshevist and Western societies alike.

	Modern History Sourcebook: Wallerstein on World Systems
		The modern world system, essentially capitalist in nature, followed the crisis of the feudal system and helps explain the rise of Western Europe to world supremacy between 1450 and 1670.
		The new capitalist world system was based on an international division of labor that determined relationships between different regions as well as the types of labor conditions within each region.
		Although the functioning of the world economy appears to create increasingly larger disparities between the various types of economies, the relationship between the core and its periphery and semi-periphery remains relative, not constant.

	Buddhism in modern world
		Nowhere else in the world does one find a parallel case of a religion being revived centuries after its disappearance, not by the command of a despot, not as the result of foreign conquest, but simply because it is the will of the people.
		Since the end of World War II, not a year has gone by without the publication of important books on Buddhism in at least one European language, and there is an increasing tendency for such books to be the work of practising Buddhists.
		If the cultural and political implications of Buddhism in the modern world succeed in working themselves out along the present lines of their development, our two leaves and a bud will soon grow into a whole forest of flowers.

	AAS Feature: The way of the modern world?
		In which I ponder the fact that nothing in the modern world actually seems to work properly anymore (....or maybe it's just me getting old....) and I suggest that until smartphone software becomes more reliable, smartphones won't be accepted by the mass market.
		But whether I'm looking at the world of smartphones (whether S60, UIQ or Windows Mobile), desktops (Windows XP or Mac), hard disk recorders (PVRs, a current fascination of mine) or even cars, I'm seeing the same factor in action.
		In short, modern systems are now so complex that it's impossible for them to work perfectly.
