Modern civilization is supported by a high level of technology. During the 20th century, mankind reached new technological goals: putting men on the moon, harnessing the power of the atom, and decoding the genetic code contained in DNA. However, if we do not use this newfound knowledge wisely, mankind will be in danger. Not only do we face a food crisis, but we must also confront the problems caused by global warming as the world's population increases to a figure of over 10 billion. These problems may result in a catastrophic collapse of the global environment.

Without a doubt, these problems are caused by modern society and they must be faced and solved. Let us also note that although the advances of the information technology revolution continue to transform our lives and promote the globalization of society, we still suffer from the same global problems: regional conflicts and racial and religious tensions. In addition, while there has been progress in the field of nuclear disarmament, an uncomfortably large number of nuclear warheads still exist throughout the world.
