Introduction:
During the twentieth century humankind witnessed the quickest leap in human knowledge and technology ever in recorded history. Since the oldest known records of civilization, advanced societies have risen and have fallen, but none have advanced so rapidly as western civilization. For thousands of years humankind existed in mostly agrarian societies and teetered between a world population of 500 million to 1 billion. Empires would rise and fall making great achievements in architecture and culture, yet none so profound nor as rapid as what western civilization has achieved in such a short period of time since the colonial period.
