Hi all,
Could you please tell me if the usage of 'path' and its neighbouring words is correct in the following sentence? Is there any more 'native-like' structure to express the point in this sentence?

I think using 'world', the tense of the second verb, and the very last combination of words sound so weird! :-(


'...modernity has always been precious to the world and soon has got
a path through everyday life...'

The whole things sounds weird. I don't know what it means. How can "modernity be precious to the world"? I can't begin to make sense of "and soon has got a path through everyday life".

I can't tell you a more "native" way of saying it because I have no idea what the point being expressed is.
