The Progression of Man
Victims of genocide
PERHAPS the most short-sighted aspect
of our modern culture is the notion that we are on a linear path of
advancement. That we are leaving behind, in the wake of human
achievement, the barbarism and narrow-minded thinking of past
generations and cultures. That we are loosening the shackles of
prejudice and intolerance and marching toward a more democratic, free,
and civilized world.
This assumption is not only false, but dangerous.
