The world has achieved physical, scientific and infrastructural development tremendously. These great achievements have made our lives easy. But have these physical growths made people happy in the world? An emphatic "NO"will be the answer. Why because happiness can come only in a peaceful social environment.
Is our present civilisation leading us to a better world? Rather it is taking us to a bitter and dangerous world.
The factos that affect the process of civilisation:
The national sovereignty concept based on irrational boundaries and religious mental divide seen rampantly are the real and major culprits taht affect the progress of civilisation

Ezhil

What is "irrigational" about sovereignty and borders?

Ezhil,

What did people think about? Are there records of interviews or conversations? I can't help but think you might be condemning civilisation with the wisdom it has given you.

"But have these physical growths made people happy in the world? An emphatic "NO"will be the answer."

Wrong question. People will never be happy because there's always the next hill to climb

The correct question is are people HAPPIER? The answer is yes.

Hi Ezhil,

Civilizations have collapsed in the past.

Could over exploitation of natural resources, climate change,
conflicts between countries, lead to a dramatic decline of
ours? Can we avert this fate?

We've had warnings about unbridled population and economic
growth based on unsustainable use of natural resources.

Scientists have told us that a change of course in our
behaviour is possible and would help avert a dire fate.
But none of them are overly optimistic that it will
happen due to vested economic interests.

While the older generations of today's population may not
live to see our civilization fall - all of us who want to
leave a habitable world for our grandchildren should be
concerned enough to want to take action to avert this
situation.

And I'm sure that with our shared humanity we will not give up
so easily.
