Slow Movement: A Cultural shift towards Slowing Down Life's Speed

Hello readers!

  Here is my task is that write a brief note by connecting all these Baudrillard ( Hyperreal, simulation and simulacra), Paul Virilio ( Dromology) and Ulrich Beck (Risk Society) and then about slow Movement, dots about the culture of speed and the need for the culture of Slow Movement Or Slow philosophy. So let's see....

   Before going on over all views, let's know some basic information about it, it is a cultural revolution against the notion that faster is always better. The slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail's pace. It's about seeking to do everything at the right speed. Savoring the hours and minutes rather than just counting them. Doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast a possible. It's about quality over quantity in everything from work to food to parenting.
