Reflection: Week 6 [Wednesday]

Zygmunt Bauman’s theory of homogeneity is spot on. You cannot deny that the structure and nationalist belief that order and rationalization in modern culture led up until the point in modernity where Communism and the Holocaust could be held as a common belief to the powers that be. These examples are products of the modern mindset and is a brilliant argument by Zygmunt Bauman [pictured here] that the Holocaust, contrary to being history's best example of barbaric regression into amorality, was in fact confluent with modern principles and deployed many tenets of modern rationalism of which, in other spheres, Western society is unequivocally proud.
