Annan uses words like "deadliest," "suffering," "crimes," "violence" and "hatred." These words help the reader to see how the 20th century was uncomfortable, dangerous, and a bad time.
Although you haven't shown it, we can see from the context of your question that you are referring to Kofi Annan's speech during the Nobel Peace Prize.
In this speech, Annan states that:
- The world and the relationship between countries and people have changed a lot over time.
- However, not all of these changes were beneficial.
- Although the 21st century seems safer and more stable than the 20th century, boundaries between people still exist.
- These borders are no longer national borders and have started to be created by the social, economic, and political inequalities that surround us.
- Although the 20th century was a bad, criminal and violent moment in the history of humanity, we cannot say that there is a union between peoples and not even between people of the same nation, right now.
- This makes our current century still dangerous, unstable, and in need of improvement.
In short, he claims that we have evolved in technology, but our social relationships, empathy, and solidarity are still as shallow as in the 20th century.
