1. Disenchantment

   In social science, disenchantment (German: Entzauberung) is the cultural rationalization and devaluation of religion apparent in modern society. The term was borrowed from Friedrich Schiller by Max Weber to describe the character of a modernized, bureaucratic, secularized Western society. In Western society, according to Weber, scientific understanding is more highly valued than belief, and processes are oriented toward rational goals, as opposed to traditional society, in which "the world remains a great enchanted garden".

1. disenchantment

   Disenchantment is a feeling of disappointment or dissatisfaction that arises when something, such as a belief, a project, a relationship, or a situation, does not live up to one's previous enthusiastic expectations or ideals. It often involves a loss of innocence, faith, or trust, and results in disillusionment. In sociology, it also refers to the process by which society becomes more secular and less influenced by superstitious beliefs.
