A Century of the Modern and Postmodern West - 1918 to 2011

The 8th and final video in the Freedom Academy's "Odyssey of Western Civilization" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson
In this video:
Ever since the days of classical Greece, Western civilization rested
upon a bedrock of idealism and civic virtue. Then, amid the confusion
and disconnection created by the Industrial Revolution, the West began
to turn away from its traditional emphasis on religion, patriotism and
family values. Nowadays we all wallow the nihilistic chaos of the
postmodern world, where irony and cynicism are the dominant modes. But
we long for a rebirth of the values and traditions that sustained
Western civilization for 2,500 years - and one day may do so again.
