There's a sense of history
Summary
We are witnessing the slow unification of humanity under the aegis of a common morality: human rights, derived from religion (a secularized version of religious ethics), are becoming the standard of reference. Little by little, equality between men and women, children's rights, freedom of expression and other fundamental freedoms became common references. These will then be imposed on all, achieving real moral progress. Cf. Fukoyama's thesis on "The End of History".
