Globalization as the Destruction of the Decalogue: An Example of Slovenian Drama

Abstract

Traditional form of society includes certain characteristics, such as space, private and public, and common values. Currently, exactly these peculiar properties went through fundamental changes, and as a consequence, the values and their use had changed drastically. This became the topic for Slovenian writer Vinko Möderndorfer’s play “Deset” (“Ten”), which shows a solipsistic and egoistical world ruled only by the Mammon. It describes the essential devolution of society and the question arises, what remains after its demise.
