GLOBALISATION, HUMANISM, MODERNITY:IN SEARCH OF EQUILIBRIUMMonica Grigorescu*Our time has proved to be amazingly effective in gropingly building up a civilization which it has proved amazingly inept at putting in order.(André Maliaux)After so many crises which have followed each other in as many areas, we ought to admit that industrial and technological civilization is creating as many problems as it is capable of resolving. The myth of progress, one of the founding myths of our civilization, also appears to have collapsed as a myth. The development of modern society, spectacular as it is from an economist’s angle of vision, has not been able to society; stop a slide into human and moral underdevelopment. A deterioration of quality in relation to quantity makes only those things that can be actually measured appear to be real; unfortunately, things like poetry, suffering, or love are hardly quantifiable.Towards the end of his eventful life, Jean Monnet, a remarkable figure of the twentieth century, reasoned that, had he been able to start all over aqain. he would have bequn with culture.

Respostas
Bom dia!
I.Jean Monnet founded the European Union at the end of his life - Falsa, este texto fala sobre a vida de Jean Monnet, em momento algum podemos identificar o fato de que ele tenha fundado a União Europeia.
.II.Today technology isn’t as beneficial as it used to be. Verdadeiro, a tecnologia não costuma ser tão benéfica como costumava ser, pois, segunto o texto, hoje em dia se vê quantidade ao invés de qualidade, e acredita-se que isso é bom.
III.Poetry and love have been disregarded lately. Verdadeiro, poesia e amor tem sido ignorados, segundo texto e transformados em algo sem sentido.
IV.Quantity isn’t as relevant as quality nowadays. Falso, o texto diz ao contrário, a quantidade que é relevante, mas, a qualidade não.
V.Progress has also been threatened by the world crisis. Falso, pois, segundo o texto, com as crises surgiram novas formas de enfrentar os problemas.
