In Hannah Arendt's work, The Human Condition, Arendt discusses the active life or Vita Activa and how the three main human activities are incorporated into the public domains and private. The private domain, in which finances and basic needs are met, exists within the household. The public domain involves politics and interaction between individuals. Any interaction in the public domain requires that the individual has achieved freedom. However, as society continues to develop and the modern era takes over, the rise of the social domain disrupts the hierarchy of these three human activities. Arendt writes about how this disruption undermines the natural order. Each of the three human activities has its own place in society and by disrupting the natural order, this shift to the social realm poses problems for humanity. The private domain offers individuals security and comfort. In this area, basic survival needs such as subsistence, shelter and protection are provided at the individual level. This community is organized through the natural family unit which then functions together by carrying out different tasks in order to cohabit in the best possible way. Arendt confirms this, writing: “The natural community within the home therefore arose from necessity, and necessity reigned over all activities carried out there. » (Arendt, 30 years old) The private domain needs work, the first human activity, to function properly. Society looks down on physical labor and those who work in it. This is why slaves and servants are used to fulfill the demands of work. The man is responsible for those who work and is expected to use force if necessary to maintain order. The woman performs household chores such as cleaning and maintenance...... middle of paper ...... social aspects of life. Reports about scientific advances rarely make headlines because they are not considered as important as social or political news. The greatest possible good is achieved with a group of people, seeking a single answer or goal, and not giving up on the question until an answer is found. When a group of actors comes together to develop a single theory or thought, the result is always better than with an individual. Even if the individual arrives at the same answer, the group will likely be able to demonstrate the simplest and most effective methodology. Education and the advancement of knowledge through the use of peers is the best use of acting. Education and the advancement of knowledge are the two most important aspects of action.
