Modernization involves changing the conditions of a society, and organisation or another group of people in ways that change the privileges according to modern technology or modern knowledge.

According to the sociologist Peter Wagner, modernization can be seen as a process, and as offencives. While the former is commonly used by politicians and media, it suggests that it is the things (like e.g. data technology or laws) which form the borders for human interaction, and make modernization neccessary or preferable. This view makes critique of modernization kind of hard, since they suggest that it is the things which should, and do, control the borders for human interaction, and not vice versa. The latter, Modernization offencives, is acknowledgning that both the things and the changes e.g. data technology make available, is shaped and controlled by human agents. Modernization as offencives is then a product of human planning and acting.
