The modern era is known for recent technological advancements, global interconnectedness, and ongoing political and social transformations. But with progress also come new challenges that shape the world today. In this episode of The World History Curriculum Companion, we examine key developments of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, including globalization, climate change, and the terrible impact of terrorism. We’ll also review the impact of cultural and economic changes on societies worldwide. From the rise of the internet to global movements for justice and sustainability, this episode covers the major forces shaping the world we live in today. This episode is designed to accompany our unit plan on the Modern World for our complete World History curriculum, which includes resources and lessons designed for middle school and high school classrooms.
