Currently, the development of globalization has led to the possibility that the future of the world is global. The current era emphasizes discoveries and technological advances that allow the world to eliminate territorial boundaries. However, how does this affect the state's power over its citizens? How can they have authority over their citizens without the confusion of globalization and rapid change? The answer must analyze the beginning of human development, that is, his education.

High modernism needs funds to implement its funds. However, future citizens are trying to find a way to elevate their status, which can be achieved through certification. It is assumed that the more certificates you obtain, the greater your chances of increasing your future opportunities. On the other hand, there are some elites who have done well for themselves without certification, such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. This exception leads to the recognition that there is a flaw in high modernism and the acceptance of the social order.
