Use an appropriate and original example from social life today to illustrate how “reason ” and ” rationality” could be seen to oppress or restrict human individuality.
Both “reason” and “rationality” were cornerstones of the Enlightenment, yet some theorists we’ve been studying see them as a kind of ” trap” – or “cage”. Use an appropriate and original example from social life today to illustrate how “reason ” and ” rationality” could be seen to oppress or restrict human individuality. Be sure to identify the specific ideas of a least one of the theorist we’ve read ( Parson, Merton, Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse)
