to welcome change and take full advantage of discoveries and inventions
that modified nature and profoundly altered human society.

4. INCREASED HUMAN MOBILITY on land and water, and, more recently,
in the air and, still more recently, in outer space. Easy and rapid
movement, and almost instantaneous communication brought people together
in towns and cities, built up trade in goods and services, increased
speed of communications and enabled people living at a distance from one
another to keep in close touch, bringing human enterprises and human
beings into continuing contact. Human life, thought and action were
coordinated. Increased mobility UNIFIED HUMAN SOCIETY.

problems, map the paths of enterprise. We are learning first to think,
then, only after careful study, decide on courses of action and follow
them through.
