Modernity and modernism in this study are conceptually studied from a sociological point of view, from the very beginnings to the critique of modernity. Modernity, in a very broad spectrum of understanding the organization of society, shows the relationship between the rule of the mind, raids and systems that become dominant with the development of society, especially in the development of technology and production groups. The struggle between the freedom of the individual, that is, the subject in the spheres of common interests, is opposed to the objective one. In this sense, the concept of modernity is questionable as its meaning is rationally confirmed in the final implementation. Modernists strive to overcome backward conceptions, but they are in a simultaneous lag between tradition and the unity of the mind with nature and rationalization as a new definition of the idea of modernity. The creation of the ideology of modernity showed several of its aspects, so unique ways of modernization were sought, i.e. a rational society with technological power over people, and questions of human identity were considered in the context of the optimal transformation of the existing into the modern.
