Eugenics In America << Click
I believe that Galton’s discovery of eugenic trait has considerable biological meaning. However, he should have not create the new term ‘eugenics’, which is the error to simplify everything, that falls into the logical error of superiority and inferiority. Currently, we are living in a professionalized world with presence of various careers. There is a supporting actor, who calls himself as a level B actor, in my country, Korea. Despite of this, he is one of the most popular actors, who get much love for 19 years. The society does not only want level A. The ideal society has to have the coexistence of various people. This diverse world requires people with various thoughts and talents. One of the well known negative effects caused by eugenics is Nazi the Third Reich. Obviously, it is a negative event to justify the events like the holocaust done by Hitler. The U.S is not an exception. In the past, the victim of the compulsory eugenic sterilization operation was 60,000 in the U.S. The above video is about the payment of compensation for the victims of eugenic sterilization operation in North Carolina from 1929 to 1974, who are still alive until now. Although much time has passed and the compensation is paid to the victims, their pain will not go away easily. Currently, we may commit another simplification error. Commonly, we are evaluated or evaluating by education, wealth basis from the others. Money, which was the carrier of exchange, has deteriorated its meaning. Could this completely represent our identity in deed?
