Homo Mediocris - Mediocrity in the Contemporary Society

This essay problematize the concept of "mediocrity" in our contemporary society. What is mediocrity and why is it presented to be so negative? How are the social pressures of our society influencing us and turning us into a new species of Homo - the Homo Mediocris? Shall we discard mediocrity as something negative, or shall we instead revalue it as an indispensable part of our lives? In these pages we will try to analyze and give an answer to all of these important questions in order to understand that being mediocre should not be seen as a negative aspect of our lives, but rather as a indispensable feature of our success as a species.
