Society in the modern day is quite different from what it was in the past. People's use of time

and place, the economy, and social life have all been impacted by a complex web of social,

cultural, economic, and political ties that run deep. Rather of relying on the government to run a

country's economy, capitalists rely on private investors to do it. A cultural melange is being

created all throughout the world as civilizations mix. The term "melange" refers to the global

mix of cultures (Pieterse, J. N. 2019). People who identify with and support their country's

sovereignty are known as nationalists.

In many respects, capitalism and modernity are responsible for the cultural mashup. People

are defined by their relationship to the market and business under a capitalist society, making it a

cultural system. Due to the fact that doing business necessitates the interaction of individuals

from varied cultural backgrounds, this promotes cultural blending. Businesses' thinking,

consumerism, and corporate culture make up capitalism's cultural structure. In the contemporary

era, individuals give up their old ways and embrace a more industrialized way of life. To make a

difference in their personal and societal life, people are taught how to make the most of their

time and space. People will learn from one other how to enjoy their time and space, help each

other improve their economies, contribute to the greater good, and do so on a personal level as a

result of this cultural melange. Humanism binds the world together.
