WORLD AT CROSS ROADS OF CONVERGENCE ERA

The emerging Post-Modern worldview brings the dichotomous concepts and facts into one unified whole. There is a need to face the challenges (moral, social, spiritual, psychological, political etc.) when the standardized things hitherto been a stand alone entities, brought into the personal sphere. There are no public-private divides. The growing anarchistic tendency in the much systematized western living, the now-systematization of eastern living are the case-mark for collective protest against modern era.

The Globalization is the cause for cultural and technoligical convergences. The process of globalization has reached its pinnacle through its economic pulpit. The replication of western living (individualistic and consumeristic) in other parts of the world, creates a crisis of cultural gap between people of the local cultures. Cultural synthesis do take place; but often it brings with it the dislocation of personal and social value systems.
