The Modern Thinker

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” ~Anne Frank The world as we know it has undergone dramatic changes over the last couple of decades – widespread advances in the field of technology and communications, economic upheavals that have pushed certain countries into the limelight and have devastated others, and unfettered fanaticism, which has given religion a whole new meaning. From it all rises new challenges. Students face an uncertain future, where the internet, global warming, economic recession and a lack of spirituality all vie for their undivided attention. Families have to make daily decisions and sacrifices based on the current political and economic climate. Corporations, which once governed unquestioned, now have to answer to the common man. Religion has entered a new dimension thanks to organizations like Al Qaida. And sexuality, which was once boxed and defined, has now broken free of its shackles and demands its recognized place in society. So many changes in so short a time! This is only the tip of the iceberg. No wonder we’ve seen such a dramatic spike in social chaos. Disruption in one part of the world will have consequences in another part. The growing disparity between the rich and poor has still to be addressed successfully. And conflicts and tensions, to which we might not contribute directly, but are nonetheless effected by, continue to exist. While our governments continue to pour money into the military, defence, and fighting wars overseas, where are the resources to help the citizens understand and adjust to our rapidly changing world? The book is a testament to where we are moving as a country and as a society. Our values, goals, and beliefs as a people will decide our future outcome. The Modern Thinker is a thought-provoking guide that encourages you to think about whom we really are, what our place in society is, and what kind of future we want for our families and our children. The book has a discussion chapter at the end of it with step-by-step instructions to help you write your own ideas, beliefs, and values and encourage you to submit your feedback to Author Alex Sangha for a follow-up book on readers views or the voice of the people. Use The Modern Thinker to think of what you can do to make a difference. To understand what our current times demand of our current being. It is necessary to take a closer look at the changing world of the 21st century. We must all become The Modern Thinker to lead and inspire humanity to bring hope for a brighter and a more secure future.
