Transformation of culture, or cultural change, is the dynamic process whereby the living cultures
of the world are changing and adapting to external or internal forces. This process is occurring
within Western culture as well as non-Western and indigenous cultures and cultures of the world.
Forces which contribute to the cultural change described in this article include: colonization,

"Western" or European culture began to undergo rapid change starting with the arrival of
Columbus in the New World, and continuing with the Industrial Revolution. The Modern Period,
from 1914–1945, is characterized as a highly transformative era, with World War I serving as the
watershed moment initiating and forever marking the Modern period.[2] In literature, the work
of the High Modernists ruled this period. Notable High Modernists include: T.S. Eliot, Ernest
Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and James Joyce. The High Modernists were
predominantly American expatriates living abroad after the war and strongly marked by the war

1920. The poem points out the perceived pointlessness of World War I, but also the loss of faith
in the British Empire and Western ideals. Another example of literature during this time is the

powerful forces, such as the internet. The internet was created in large part by people
cooperating, taking chances, and experimenting outside of corporate settings. Many of the
individuals who were drawn to the technology in its infancy were activists and progressives.[3]
Some scholars and social theorists recognize that we are undergoing another cultural change
brought about by the New Industrial Revolution. This Revolution is changing the way that
products are made and disposed of,[4] how buildings are constructed, and our relationship to the
natural world and its capital.[5] See also: segregation laws, conscientious objection, May 1968.
