People are always worried about tomorrow. But its foundation is being sought from today. Because he can act today for his future, he can change himself and the world. The Age of Enlightenment gave rise to the concept of "modernity". He defined his mission. In the future, the scope of this concept expanded and began to acquire a new meaning. Also, the article presents concepts that are unfavorable for the development of the individual, and shows current global problems and achievements. Until the second half of the 19th century, the concept of "modern" was considered as a stage of history, which was determined by chronological logic, the boundaries of which were earlier and later. However, the present is an interesting time when the situation in the world can change from prosperity to fear in a few moments. The choice and action is ours.
