This chapter unifies cross-disciplinary references, analysis, and conceptualizations
of modernity and modernization, highlighting a clear distinction
between the spirit of both modernization and modernity. As we saw from
different perspectives and criticisms, although modernization operates as
a levelling process, modernity still appears to be worth a potential update.
From coloniality to pandemic, by connecting modernities and histories,
modernity can now represent a global necessity, where awareness of
injustice, inequality, and human and environmental crises would create
the possibility of a modernity-to-come.
