They replaced many historical building with high tech building. They build wider freeways that alters the urban and their lifestyle forever. Is there an end to a means? As Hannah once said, “Today civilization tends to be increasingly embroided in a never ending chain of ‘means and ends’. “How do we become modern and at the same time return to the Sources,” said Ricoeur.
