degenerációt

Degeneráció is a Hungarian term that translates to "degeneration" in English. It refers to a process of deterioration or decline, often in a biological or societal context. In biology, degeneration can describe the breakdown of tissues or organs over time, leading to a loss of function. This can be a natural part of aging or a result of disease or injury. For example, neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's involve the progressive deterioration of nerve cells.

Beyond biology, the term can be applied to social or cultural phenomena. Societal degeneration might imply a decline in moral standards, civic engagement, or the quality of institutions. It can also refer to the deterioration of artistic or intellectual standards, where new creations are seen as less sophisticated or meaningful than previous ones. The concept often carries a negative connotation, suggesting a movement away from a perceived ideal state towards something lesser.
