The equation of state with nation is the arch heresy of our time.

We also hear ever louder calls for more effective global coordination in meeting the great challenges of our times.

I mentioned at the outset that it is essential to realign the United Nations with the reality of our modern era.

Okay, this tendency we have, this seemingly natural tendency we have, towards isolation, towards keeping to ourselves, crashes head first into our modern world.

I should like to say that it is equally a crime against humanity to allow poverty and deprivation to persist in these modern times.

PRETORIA The two defining challenges of our time are managing climate change and overcoming world poverty.

A modern day Friedman might want to ask how China has come to dominate the pencil industry, as it has so many others.

And that was brought into force to try and deal with the mountain of stuff that is just being made and then living for a while in our homes and then going to landfill.

In the modern era of automated payments, the upheaval might come from a terrorist attack that undermines the computerized transfer facilities of the world s banking system.

It will happen, I hope, also in other places and not only with Romanians but with all the people ready to face the provocations of our time.

Even with new sanctions in the offing, dialogue still offers the best prospect for peacefully resolving what may be the world s most dangerous dispute.

That is a significant reality of our time.

And that answer speaks to the disturbing realities of modern day central banking (or, to be more exact, central banking in the post bubble world of debt overhangs and sovereign debt concerns).

This is the most devastating epidemic of our time.

In terms of counterterrorism, the tragic events in Mumbai present an opportunity to ratchet up intelligence sharing, joint response training, and personnel exchanges to defeat the defining threat of our times.

Development remains the main political and moral issue of our time.

This is a difficult responsibility to embrace. For human history has often been a record of nations and tribes subjugating one another to serve their own interests. Yet in this new age, such attitudes are self defeating.

All NATO countries must understand that membership brings implicit and explicit responsibilities to ensure that their military forces have the capability to fight and win on the modern day battlefield.

When the history books get written, I think our age will be remembered for three things.

Clinton s openness to new approaches, and her early trip to Beijing, provides an incomparable opportunity for Chinese leaders to help make of the fight against global climate change, which is perhaps the most important challenge to confront the world in our time, a common odyssey.

Such rhetoric makes wars easier to justify, easier to wage, and easier to support, especially for elected leaders who must respond directly to swings in public opinion. Such language works equally well for any society in today s media obsessed age.

The tyranny of pragmatism seems to mark all of the complex dilemmas of our time.

How we deal with these challenges is the greatest economic question of our time.

Climate change remains the defining issue of our era.

It is possible to generate the political will to end global poverty in our lifetime.

The African Group considers the draft to be balanced and tailored to meet the challenges of our time.

The global problems of our times necessitate cooperation, political will, and sacrifice.

In the deadliest conflict of our era an unlikely group of heroes has emerged.

The time has come to take a resolute decision reflecting the realities of our times, our needs and our hopes.

He wrote that the historical trend of our age is the fatal crisis which capitalist production has undergone in the European and American countries where it has reached its highest peak, a crisis that will end in its destruction, in the return of modern society to a higher form of the most archaic type collective production and appropriation .

Modern history can be further broken down into the early modern period and the late modern period after the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution.

In the face of the major challenges of our times, Obama has taken a stand with a comprehensive doctrine.

This is the doctrine that Krugman argues is no longer sufficient for our age.

And then again, he did not support the Arab uprisings.

And if it is therefore the case, as I believe it is, that one of the phenomenon of our time is the globalization of power, then it follows that one of the challenges of our time is to bring governance to the global space.

It is impossible to talk about the single story without talking about power.

Left wing Israeli activist Elizabeth Tsurkov called it a Genocide in our time

The greatest evil the most effective and consuming terrorism of our age is the terrorism of abject poverty.

Debate over the role of the United Nations and its future is a sign of its continued engagement with the issues of our day.

In announcing a new Sino US joint research effort, Chu described clean energy as one of the great opportunities of our time for Sino US cooperation, saying that by working together, we can accomplish more than by acting alone.

This is true of our era where the oppression of women and the cult of thinness are linked to the objectification of all living bodies.
