   Abstract:
   The sociopolitical effects of modernization and the sophisticated technological innovations of the consumer-driven marketplace have been credited with enhancing the average person’s security and control across many domains of their lives. These aspects of sociopolitical structure and economic developments buffer people from many of the threats to well-being and livelihood that have impacted individuals’ lives throughout most of history.
