There are numerous ways through which the modern culture is ‘fatalistic’. Observably, Greeks had a unique perception on gods. For example, they viewed them to be unpredictable in their roles.
An analytical examination of these ancient Greeks together with their beliefs indicates a notable disparity with the present day practices. Humanistic perception, predominantly present within the globalized world, resembles the Greeks’ convictions on man’s role within the cosmos.
Within the current society, several individuals have replaced the ancient Greek’s beliefs and gods with politicians. Particularly, the waves approach has played a critical role in the transformation and disregard of the ancient Greeks’ critical perception of events and actions.
Politicians have presently deviated from the ancient norms of the Greek. Thus, most of them assume risky and fallacious initiatives or ideological opinions. These have misled the general society and even the rule of law.
Concurrently, fatalities are observable in the gross mistakes eminent within the political arena and governance systems. For instance, most politicians have accented to and passed legal bills that are potentially detrimental.
Presently, such undertakings have been conducted without thorough examination or scrutiny. As a result, a lot of fatalities have been committed.
Similarly, in comparison to the Zeus’ potential to transform the lives of several individuals through his daily choices in the rule of the ancient Greek, the bills passed fallaciously have this capacity also.
Observably, the competency of Zeus to make choices depending on his mood is an action that immensely manipulated the lives of the normal Greeks. This is similar to any present bill.
For instance, in America, whenever the Congress’s mood rests on passing any bill and welcome the aftermaths minus thorough initial research, it remains a fatalistic occurrence. In such contexts, even their point of view becomes largely fatalistic.
The present general society conducts its elections with utmost good faith and objective. In such actions, the ambition and chief objectives of the general populace is to trust the elected leaders.
Leaders are disallowed to alter state laws in order to fulfill their individual interests. Conversely, most of these leaders operate capriciously; opting to fulfill their personal interests as well as those their mates within the general authority.
This situation remains observably similar to the practices within the ancient Greek. For instance, Zeus tried to please personal interests and those of other colleagues within the authority. The general society presently lives in the state of complacency.
As observed, most persons disregard the rule of law reputed from the government. Evidently, this disregard of the government’s supremacy in the exercise of authority is depicted within the ancient Greeks’ culture.
The presence and acceptance of several gods within the ancient Greek is also remarkably depicted in the present society. This is because the present society welcomes and embodies all kinds of religions and worships.
However, the general acceptance of these diverse religions provides the present society with credence. Consequently, this subjects Christians to fatalistic lives.
Christians’ study of distinct types of religion within the present society enables them to comprehend various belief systems. It is notable that such endeavors never transform their minds, souls, or beliefs.
However, the present general society has condemned Christians’ convictions. For many Christians, the perception that the general community condemns their convictions is their subjection to fatalistic mentality deeply rooted within their culture.
