Metamodernity

The world is changing. Our old knowledge and general understanding of 
the world do not provide sufficient answers anymore. As our old 
understandings and the answers we get from them are insufficient, the 
ways we are used to react and behave do not work well anymore either. 
Social norms that used to make us come across as polite and friendly are 
suddenly offensive to some; a good education that used to lead to a good 
job is outdated when you receive your diploma. Our cultural compass 
cannot contain and judge the world properly because the challenges we 
are facing were not a part of our world when we came of age and learned 
what the world was like.
Metamodernity provides us with a framework for understanding ourselves 
and our societies in a more complex way. Metamodernity is a way of 
strengthening local, national, continental, and global cultural heritage 
among all. It thus has the potential to dismantle the fear of losing 
one’s culture as the global economy as well as the internet and 
exponential technologies are disrupting our current modes of societal 
organization and governance.
