Many authors have attempted to understand the world as it is today, through the study of modernity and globalization. Appadurai, an Indian sociologist, defined globalization as “a new industrial revolution driven by powerful information and communication technologies and which has only just begun” (2006: 35). Its effects are radically different depending on geopolitical situations, people and countries. For the richest countries, it is an ever-increasing source of profit, whether culturally, economically or financially. On the contrary, for the rest of the world, and interestingly for the majority, "it is a source of concern about inclusion, employment and deeper marginalization" (2006: 35 ) and through this feeling of marginalization is the great fear of being excluded from History itself. Globalization has begun to exacerbate the differences between rich and poor countries, between developed and less developed countries, while blurring geographic boundaries. Alongside the study of modernism and globalization, some theorists have raised the question of new forms of modern violence and their plausible relationship to modernity and globalization.
