During the Renaissance, humanity witnessed an intense cultural and scientific awakening that marked the beginning of Modernity, a period characterized by significant changes in social, economic, and political spheres. The revolution of knowledge and the pursuit of technical-scientific progress were crucial aspects that shaped the new worldview. In 'Liquid Modernity', the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman proposes a reflection on modernity and its consequences, stating that 'liquid modernity undermines all forms of solidification of the social world and human action [...]'. Considering the excerpt and the historical-philosophical context presented, analyze how the concept of modernity influenced not only the way individuals relate to each other, but also how they interact with the natural environment and how this process can be interpreted in light of sustainability principles.a.
The modern period promoted a view of human beings as an integral part of nature, leading to a sustainable approach that avoided excessive exploitation of natural resources.
b.
The modernity strengthened community ties and collective awareness, resulting in more effective environmental preservation practices aligned with sustainability principles.
c.
Technological innovations and modern thinking led to a complete harmonization between human needs and the environment's regeneration capacity, without conflicts or degradation.
d.
Modernity promoted an anthropocentric view that led to an attitude of dominance and intensive use of natural resources, contrasting with sustainability principles that advocate for a balanced and lasting relationship with the environment. However, this approach is being questioned in the face of growing concerns about environmental degradation, promoting a movement towards more sustainable practices and environmental conservation policies.
e.
Modernity did not have a significant impact on how humans interact with the natural environment, maintaining a stance of balance and respect for nature.

In the work 'Nicomachean Ethics', Aristotle discusses ethics as the investigation of character dispositions that lead to the flourishing of human life in society. In a passage, he states: 'Ethics is not a theory, but a practice. We do not seek just to understand what virtue is, but we strive to become good.' Considering the context of ethical debates, especially regarding the formation of values and moral attitudes in contemporary society, evaluate the following hypothetical situation: In a culture where corruption is widely tolerated and even encouraged in various sectors, what ethical strategy could be employed to promote reflection and the adoption of more integral behaviors among individuals, taking into account Aristotle's thoughts on ethical practice and its role in shaping human character?

In contemporary times, the notion of ethics transcends the individual sphere and approaches social and global dynamics, influencing decisions in various areas such as politics, economy, and technology. In this context, the philosopher Hannah Arendt discusses the 'banality of evil', referring to how the lack of critical reflection and the uncritical following of orders can lead to devastating ethical consequences. In her work 'Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil', Arendt analyzes the trial of Adolf Eichmann, one of the main organizers of the Holocaust, and argues that he was not a sadist or an individual with malevolent intentions, but rather someone who meticulously followed orders without questioning the moral consequences of his actions. Given the above, and considering Arendt's thinking, what is the relevance of critical thinking in the context of ethical decision-making, especially in hierarchical structures and institutions that demand obedience to norms and protocols?
