When we casually try to define modernity, words associated with temporality often find their place. For example, 'progress', 'change', 'movement', 'transformation' etc. are some of the words that are often associated with it. These words are highly future-oriented, meaning that there is an underlying implication that any 'change', 'movement', 'transformation' or such shifts in time were necessary for anything good to happen. In this way, modernity tends to be the standpoint(s) of an assumed present-future against an assumed past to create the "new" and the "old" while qualifying the former and disqualifying the latter. When we talk about time, it is about such arrangement of past, present and future. Perceptions of time vary between cultures and societies according to their narratives of each of these temporal registers. In other words, each culture will have its own ways of looking at the past and the future.
