“The critique of modernity has to recognize its ambiguous structure.”
— Michel Foucault

Simplified Meaning:
Modern life has lots of good things and lots of bad things mixed together. We can't just say it's all great or all terrible. For example, technology today helps us connect with people far away, but it also makes us spend less time talking face-to-face. When we think about today's world, we need to see both sides to understand it fully. This way, we can figure out how to keep the good parts and fix the things that aren’t working well. By seeing both the positives and negatives, we can make better choices for the future.
