Modernization means a plenitude of new plenitudes ; Modernity means plenticide

Modernization is an objective set of conditions ( a globalizing plenitude of new plenitudes) that became noticeable with particular force in the 1870s and has never really left us.

Modernity - by contrast - arose in frightened reaction against this sudden overwhelming plethora of plethoras and was/is a subjective condition - a mental state.

urbanization does not mean country people come into a city but that the city extends out to the countryside

It is alleged that under the modernizing forces of the 1870s and 1880s , huge cities suddenly sprung up around the world that were more crowded than the cities before them.

It is true that they were much bigger than traditional cities - but they were also less not more crowded than earlier cities.

This myth allows urbanization is be set off as the straw dog opposite of the co-current trend of globalization.

Under Modernity, compassion that extended beyond national borders was race-treason

Like the "hard sayings" of Christ , agape love is the "hard love" of Christ.

It means showing compassion to people who aren't "our kind of people".
