The compressive succession of events, the rapid evolution of technology, the astonishing achievements of science, and the remarkable difficulty of human understanding have all contributed to the simultaneous deregulation of traditional social constants and the continuous effort for a rolling readjustment to new conditions.

The attempted unity in the world has appeared in many faces, many intentions, many expectations, and many interpretations for the conception of its meanings under a regime of multiple interpretations.

In this book, an attempt is made through a small-scale chronology to highlight issues that concern today's society, which is confronted with all the transforming situations, with their management policies, and with the risky leaps of journalism that announce progress.
