On Habermas' Theory of the Rationalization of the Communication Action

Habermas thinks that the basic disease in the late capitalist society is the global colonization of life.The fundamental method to overcome the colonization of the life is to realize the rationalization of the communicative action.There are three basic ways to realize the the rationalization of the communicative action.First,choosing proper language to communicate with others;second,admiting and obeying common norms and standards;third,building a society which perfoms the discourse democracy.Habermas'theory is enlightening in solving some problems we are facing in the process of development.But Habermas' theory has its limitimations,for example,Habermas exaggerates the function of language.Besides,the theory of Habermas has the colour of utopia.
