Rapid Modernization in Libya

By Nuha Dadesh
     Libyans’ persistence to be modernized is undeterred by the fact that their turbulent homeland is experiencing one of its worst adversities.
     The world is overtly more interconnected than ever due to the gargantuan influence of Internet connection. Thus, a stupendous acceptation of others’ cultures, values, and ideologies is evoking.
     Libyans’ day- to-day lives have altered drastically. For instance, smart phones germinated as a boon to almost every household. In just a few years, a myriad influx of online users emerged, and apps such as Facebook, Whatsapp, and Instagram commenced as prominent advantages. News, important announcements, and various invitations swiftly distribute. Moreover, Facebook and Instagram pages ameliorate advertising for companies, stores, and even private businesses. Concisely, what was once unidentified now is used perpetually.
     Paramount Western cultural values and impressions are approaching to Libya. Palpably, there is an exchange between decrepit Libyan traditions and modern innovations: especially in weddings and gatherings. The modification of style and fashion are only a feeble comparison to the contemporary venues and cuisine. Internally and externally, Libyans are making amends.
     Progress in Libyan media production is resolute. Post revolution television shows are displaying an utter revelation. Furthermore, there is an obvious leap forward in the entertainment industry. Comedy shows, sitcoms, and hidden camera pranks are the top emerging genres. “ Eyad is Libya’s first proper sitcom from all angles such as set, ideas, filming, script, and acting to show we can do more,” remarked Muhanned Klash, a Libyan actor. In addition, Dragunov portrayed an astounding fictional drama set during the 2011 Libyan Revolution. The Libyan media is currently positioning higher standards

     In this day and age, Libya found entropy emphatically paramount. As the dichotomies of good and evil struggle for sovereignty, average denizens of this North African land endeavor to make ends meet. Whereas modernization and technology sweep over our motherland, hindrances and impediments are also ascending. It’s up to Libyans to conscientiously fight for the path of prosperity.
