ABSTRACT
It is an era of internationalisation and integration, in which these changes are distorted and misinterpreted by certain imperialist circles as globalisation, which is sought to be tagged along with privatisation and liberalisation. All the structures and constituent parts of world society: state, civil society, classes, relations of socio-economic and political-ideological nature are being redefined. Scientific and Technological Revolution is the single most important and decisive factor of the present-day world changes. The Industrial Revolution of the past began an industrial age, which continues till today. It brought in its wake qualitative changes in the nature of production, created industrial and capitalist societies. Knowledge workers constitute a growingly important segment of the working class.
