Disruptive change

"Change - swift, fundamental, unprecedented in scale, and jarring to the human condition - has become a commonplace of our age. Out of all this swirling upheaval and transformation, in every corner of human life and in all parts of the globe, arise many of the problems that confront the late 20th century man or woman. Learning to adjust and to live with a world in change is perhaps the central challenge of our time" (UN University).
