Are we slowly chipping away at civilization?
After reading the odysseys book one about how they are losing civilization at odyessus home it made me think. Are we as a society slowly chipping away at civilization i mean back then if you did a crime you would get sacrificed. But over the years we have been fighting these rules and actually winning forcing them to make the consequences less. Another example would be uniform years ago people would obey and not ask questions about why and how they must dress , but today at school people decide to choose against these rules and actually get away with it because its becoming a habit . If anyone in ancient Greece didn't fallow the rules they would probably be banished . That's why i believe we are chipping away at civilization.

No we are not chipping away at civilization,rather we chipping away at the power and responsibility of the other. Other people cannot make us "behave" in away that is beneficial to or selves or to "us" as a whole, rather only you can make yourself "behave" in a manner that is "best" for yourself and best for us all. Finally, with us taking responsibility for ourselves their is no else to blame. I think we are just starting to realize this and this period of time that you and live in is really going to suck during this transition, as there are less external pressures to make us "behave" but the internal abilities have not developed fully. If you doubt my theory just try and force someone to due something!
