"The Call of the Twentieth Century, an Address to Young Men" by David Starr Jordan is an inspirational address written in the early 20th century. This book can be categorized as a motivational and philosophical publication that addresses the responsibilities and opportunities facing the youth of the time. Jordan highlights the character traits necessary for young men to thrive and make meaningful contributions to society in the emerging modern world. In this work, Jordan emphasizes the idea that the Twentieth Century will be marked by strenuity, complexity, and democracy, calling upon young men to enact their duties with vigor and integrity. He discusses the potential for social progress and personal responsibility, urging individuals to be architects of their futures while adhering to ethical and moral standards.
