	Conquering modern age - A & E
		While some artists of this golden age of rock are still shaking their prosthetic hips on stage, Dylan is the sole torchbearer of his generation who is still making music that compares with his best.
		With Modern Times, Dylan's first album in five years and the 44th of his career, this 65-year-old proves that he is anything but over the hill.
		It is hard to say that Modern Times has cemented Dylan's status as a legend or an icon, for that position has preceded him for decades now.

	Modern Times (history) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concept of the modern world as distinct from an ancient world rests on a sense that the modern world is not just another era in history, but rather the result of a new type of change.
		The Modern Age, when used in reference to the arts, is the period from around the beginning of the 20th century, up to the present day.
		Modern art is typified by self-awareness, and by the manipulation of form or medium as an integral part of the work itself.

	The Chronicle: 4/26/2002: It's the End of the Modern Age

		The Modern Age was the age of the town.

	Beavis, Butthead, and the End of the Modern Age
		The Modern Age emerged in the 17th century, with the triumph of science and the final victory of the moderns over the ancients in the battle of the books.
		The Modern Age was characterized by a fundamental confidence in the ability of humanity to master its environment and perfect its condition.

	TIME 100: Person of the Century - The Age Of Einstein
		He was the first modern intellectual superstar, and he won his stardom in the only way that Americans could accept--by dint of intuitive, not scholarly, intelligence and by having his thought applied to practical things, such as rockets and atom bombs.
		The entire thrust of modern art, whether it took the form of Expressionism, Cubism, Fauvism or fantasy, was a conscious effort to rejigger the shapes of observable reality in the same spirit of liberation and experimentation that Einstein brought to science.
		He was similarly associated with the pluralism of modern music and the eclecticism of modern architecture.

	The fragility of democracy Modern Age - Find Articles
		Greek democracy was a brief historical episode and is not to be taken as the exemplar of modern democratic governments.
		Modern democratic ideas were shaped to a large extent by medieval ideas and institutions, notably by the concept of divine, natural, and customary law as a restraint on the power of kings, including the right to levy taxes.
		Contributing to the development of modern democracy was the introduction into political discourse of a number of profound intellectual ideas, notably the concepts of "natural rights" and the "equality of all mankind," ideas that played an important role in the American War for Independence and in the French Revolution.

	Islam and the Modern Age
		It means that the modern world neither accepts, nor should it be expected to accept, the laws and regulations belonging to the ancient times.
		It means that human societies, in every age, desire law and morality to be according to the temper of that age.

		Instead, she says, the stakes are how the final phase of the Modern Era will play out.
		But look at Turkey, where an Islamic party is now in power and it is fully committed to fulfilling all the obligations of reform involved in membership in the European Union.
		Religion is often a function of a transition and once Islamic parties come to power, they have to deal with the realities of modern states--or face opposition.

	The Birth of the Modern Age - ART DECO
		Originally referred to as Art Moderne, the name Art Deco was a shortening of the title of the first international display of objects in the style at the above noted 1925 Paris Exposition.
		The Art Deco style, with its flair, extravagance and risque attitude is the basis upon which modern design is rooted.
		Art Deco was a perfect way for the modern chic with no real social standing to create a totally new look and conceal humble beginnings.

	Modern Age (US Version), MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		Aside from being the opening salvo that introduced the Strokes to a largely unsuspecting world, The Modern Age sparked a renewed interest in other like-minded garage revivalists such as the White Stripes and the Hives, and also managed to fuel a Seattle-esque record label feeding frenzy in the emerging New York scene.
		Through the spring and summer of 2001, the Strokes and their EP amassed an immense amount of buzz (particularly in the U.K. press), which lofted the anticipation for the group's full-length debut album, Is This It?, into the stratosphere.
		Now, looking back at The Modern Age EP, it might not be readily apparent what all the fuss was about — even a cursory listen reveals all three tunes to be in considerably cruder form here than the versions that would later appear on Is This It?.

	Buddhism and problems of the modern age
		Modern man has, therefore, the right to ask, what use religion has for us of this age.
		The second is the modern technologically organised society, liberal in outlook, trying to adapt itself to changes taking place around it, with almost breathtaking rapidity.
		However, there are those, who, having made a close study of counter-culture, maintain that the popular image is wrong, shallow and superficial, and that their unorthodox behaviour is only a means of protest against established society which they regard as completely motivated by prejudice and self-interest.

	Modern Age of Comic Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Modern Age of Comic Books is an informal name for the period of American comic books generally considered to last from the mid-1980s until present day.
		Because the time period encompassing the Modern Age is not well defined, and in some cases disputed by both fans and most professionals, a comprehensive history is open to debate.
		The Uncanny X-Men is the most definitive example of this impact as Bronze Age characters such as Wolverine and Sabretooth would have a huge influence on the Marvel Universe in the 1980’s and beyond.

	The Sick Nation of the Modern Age
		It was obviously impossible for a nation that had been overtaken by the tide of Western civilization to shut its eyes to the reality and escape the effects of the tide.
		In almost all the Islamic countries, a large section of leaders of religion still stick to the old attitude that was initially responsible for their failure.
		Of course, they never tire of denouncing and decrying the factors and forces that tend to alienate the new generation from the fundamental principles of Islam; but they are not prepared to take the trouble of providing the necessary remedies.

	Title the Modern Age - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
		Calling it the computer age or information age is somewhat ignoring the huge changes that took place right after this age, because while comparing my future with our present, computers and information is about the only common flavor between them.
		Then maybe "the Golden Age" would be good, since it would be when civilization had reached its highest level yet achieved before it collapsed.

		It did have the unusual top, and the gargoyles covered in a new kind of steel--planished, enduro, or nirosta--depending on which article you read, but the cladding was still brick, and the tower form was conventional.
		However, it was very modern in its decor, its construction, its operation and most of all in its spirit--something that Walter Chrysler had consciously created.
		It was would always be the first skyscraper to be synonymous with the modern age and it ushered in a decade of reaching for the sky.

		The issue concerning the legitimacy of the modern age was more pressing for the Europeans than for the Americans, largely because of the latter's historic distancing from Catholicism and the tradition of scholarship funded by the catholic church.
		This book defends the status of the modern age against any suggestion that somehow it may be an aberration, a condition gone awry.
		The modern age, in all its seeming anti-religious tendencies fueled especially by the scientific drive for the truth, is the 'legitimate' heir to the tradition of taking literally to heart,"Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free".
