Re: National Geographic's Apocalypses

The general title of these two National Geographic series is "Apocalypse" (http://natgeotv.com/asia/apocalypse-world-war-i; http://natgeotv.com/asia/apocalypse-the-second-world-war), by which the creators mean terrible, dramatic events in human history (since not the end of the world). But what the two series really are is an apocalypse, an un-covering (Greek apokalupsis, from apokaluptein ‘uncover, reveal,’ from apo- ‘un-’ + kaluptein ‘to cover.'), a revealing of the human being, individually, socially and collectively.
These films can be viewed more usefully as lessons in realistic social psychology than as just past, if relevant, history.

at all levels and in all areas -- people not being seriously responsible for their actions, before or after
