Modernisation
Modernisation involves the idea of society evolving to develop, improve and embrace on practices such as peace, equality, work, and fluency of life. Modernist architecture is styled, measured and developed to utmost perfection but they all appear the same or similar in design. Bland and devoid of color. The builder and designer of the house I would imagine would then want to paint it and make it unique and fill it with little touches to make it more comfortable and homely where everyone inside is happy. To make it better to live in and be a better place in general. Like Modernisation in theory.
Eugenics
Altering people’s DNA to change society and create the perfect human. This perfect human would however be less human. As in the film Gattaca, these people are exposed to less hardship and thus having less compassion towards others. They will lack the human spirit and consider themselves superior to those under them who are less fortunate and/or have experienced trouble and overcome the problem.
Gattaca
Gattaca is all about the human spirit and the will to overcome and strive problems and how that basic need cannot be inherited by genes and the more perfect a human is the less human they are. Humans themselves cannot cope with perfection. They need something to improve on, something to comment on that isn’t quite right and something to take up their attention and make them think. A perfect human is created for a certain job. They must live up to that job. Once they reach that job then there is no further goal for them and if they fail to reach that goal they have no flaw to blame. They were designed to do this so why couldn’t they? That is the case of Eugene where he failed in the only place he was meant to succeed. Also in the film only a dozen characters in the film actually have dialogue.
