Can it be argued that "a man from everywhere and nowhere represents the new age"?

Résumé du document

The world is changing every day. There are transformations in all fields and we all sense it. Modernity could be a right word to describe the 20th century, which is characterized by a century of progress, obviousness and dualistic bipolarity in international relations. The 21st century on the contrary should be a postmodern era. Ideologies have failed or at least have evolved, so-called universal values are getting just relative ones and cultures are getting mixed. In fact, this is the way I understand the subject, a discussion about "men from everywhere and nowhere" who would represent a world of everything and nothing. Some might say post-modernity is already dated. Indeed, this concept comes from the mid-1950s but I think it has never been as accurate as today and it is a pertinent way to describe the "new age".

[...] Of course, some borders have been reinforced by walls or better controls, State notion regains its strength in some political speeches and we witness a new wave of some ideologies as the Islamism or more generally of religious commitment but I think it is more a reaction against the structural changes world is about than a deep trend. To my mind, this description depicts the world of everything and nothing, the the subject mentions. A man who would represent it must be pragmatic, open-minded and could be a mixed-race person most of all if he belongs to different cultures: a from everywhere and nowhere”. Barak Obama seems to be that kind of man. Thus in my opinion he is a good example of a man who represents the age”. [...]
