Rapid in example sentence
I am speaking of callous nationalism and hatred amongst different communities living on this planet; organized crime possessing hitherto unseen technological means; international terrorism; the spreading drug trade; the dehumanizing effects of the fast growth of urban agglomerations; the danger that our civilization will lose control over the nuclear weapons or information systems that it has invented and over the environmental consequences of its own development; widening social differences combined with a rapid population growth and with our inability to regulate the various sophisticated forms of the globalized market economy in order that its products help to genuinely cultivate human life instead of confine it.
