The countryside had no type of technology and refused to gain any such technology that was beginning to be used in the cities and other countries.
‘“You got no right to come in my room. This here’s my room. Nobody got any right in here but me.’” When Crooks says this, it works in both ways, in that he isn’t allowed around the white workers, and they shouldn’t be around him. His defensive manner fades, however, once Lennie behaves kindly toward him, and he even considers helping Lennie and Candy with their plan to buy land until the threats
Since the beginning of civilization, humans have justified their own existence and nature's properties by the actuality of higher powers. Religion has been used as a promise for the masses, a moral guide, and in most sects, an assurance of an afterlife better than the world in which we live. Today, the vast majority of the world population believes in one god, and while these gods differ in some aspect, they are more alike than different.

Because this belief is the first step to Adorno’s idea of a fascist society, my argument will focus on positivism. Positivism is the belief in scientific objectivity. Our society seems to have adopted this philosophy and completely disregarded spiritual beliefs and art as expressions of Truth.
