The period from the mid 1500s until the current time is characterized by religious, commercial, scientific and cultural changes that formed the foundation for and defined the issues of the modern western civilization.  The European expansion following the Reformation led to political changes and revolutions in science and technology that continue to shape and challenge society, particularly              the multicultural society of the modern world.  A               consequence of these Post-Reformation changes and the                       political outcomes is a fundamentally different way                                      that humans related to the world and think                                                                     about themselves                                                                   compared to the outlook of                                                                 the people of the earlier                                                                centuries.  The ideas                                                                developed since the 1500s                                                                 allowed the West to emerge                                                           as the global force it is today.
