The Dark Ages

Throughout the history of the human civilization, historians have been able to develop labels for the different historical ages by the important events which occurred within each of them. For example, the Dark Ages is a reference to the historical period within Europe in which there was a deterioration of the economic and social life. The deterioration was partly due to the degeneration of the Roman Empire. Each age can be labeled by the protruding theme which identifies the way which life was for those living in those ages. Although the 21st century is still a growing, changing times there are different characteristics that may help interpret the themes for the age. Subsequently, the manner in which an age is interpreted also influences the
This is an effect that can be viewed through the epidemic of the disappearance of languages. A language is a tool that allows individuals to communicate. The homogenization of language may appeal to individuals as a convenience because it would allow people to communicate and understand others with clarity, but with the disappearance of a language there is a disappearance of a culture. Language also is a tool which allows individuals to think differently. Through languages, people are able to express themselves and their feelings in different forms. Through globalization, there are ten main languages which are spoken by a majority of the world. A pattern has been observed in which a language dies every fourteen days. Researchers hypothesize that by the end of the 21st century half of the languages around the world would be lost, which is about 3000 languages. The connection of information created through globalization has been a protuberant factor in the disappearance of language throughout the world. As a language disappears which means there are no native speakers history is lost. The public is unaware of the languages being lost and those who are aware often regard knowing on the mayor languages as a necessity which leads to global
Advancement in the health field due to technology has been able to safely maintain the lives of individuals through the world. Technology and science have been able to cooperate and create an era in which the possibilities for finding the cure for certain disease seem endless. For example, in 2003 the human genome project was finally completed after rigorous research on which genes made up our DNA. It was finally established the order of more than 3 billion genes or letters which make up the book of life. This has been able to facilitate research and the identification of the single genes which may cause disease, in part due to the fact that these dreams may be identified, better treatment can be created. Stem cells have been a medical advancement through many scientific studies with the aid of technology as well. Stem cells have been able to be programmed to become any type of cell in the body. This innovation has the potential for curing diseases and repairing tissue. Both of those discoveries have the ability to save individuals with a variety of illnesses, but research in the HIV-AIDS epidemic has created a special “Cocktail” to help with the disease especially in developing nations. Although the speed of science is excruciatingly slow at times due to the vast amount of testing and creation of hypotheses and experiments to test these, over the last fifteen years treatment due to medical
