is a wonderful example of why someone needs to take all of the documents written by old school scholars and re-write them into modern day socially acceptable 10th grade English. When I first attempted reading this work I was baffled by how many of the words I did not know, as I got further into the paper I realized that it was going to take me multiple readings to grasp the full curriculum of what the author was teaching. Simulacra "is a slight unreal, or superficial likeness or semblance" in 10th grade English this basically means that something is "similar". This concept is perhaps the most strongly relayed in Jean's overall view of the current state of affairs. He presents the idea that idol ism with respect to "God" as an idea of symbolism or what he believes to be initially a thought, feeling or idea as a man made physical manifestation which in its similarisim it becomes in some cases the overall embodiment of "God". Basically he is stating that the way things are today, are that way because of imitation, and all real world values are lost thought the iterations of time, slowly pseudo-genetically altered to fit the idealism of prominent individuals and their parties.
