According to World Economic Forum, Senior writer, Rosamund Hutt, when she wrote an article which was posted on the World Economic Forum website dated 17th March 2016 on the subject “why do civilizations collapse” among others, herein are her findings;
“From the collapse of ancient Rome to
the fall of the Mayan empire, evidence from archaeology suggests that five
factors have almost invariably been involved in the loss of civilizations:
uncontrollable population movements; new epidemic diseases; failing states
leading to increased warfare; the collapse of trade routes leading to famine; and
climate change”.
To
my irony, these are variables that lead to the collapse of civilizations but
the underlying factor above all is the loss of principle-centered leadership and
when people start to abandon moral values which caused society to be corrupted
and start to exhibit immoral behaviors which eventually gave rise to uncontrollable population movements; new
epidemic diseases; failing states leading to increased warfare; the collapse of
trade routes leading to famine; and climate change”.
