” The Evolution of Human Societies is based upon the CONFLICT between Natural Forces and Human Reasoning “
In all my experiences, what I observed in this world is the existence of opposing forces in the making of every event and the outcome of those events takes the world forward. Whether the events relate to the Physical World which are governed by the Laws of the Universe or the Social World which is governed be set rules-all the events are an outcome of the Clash of Opposing forces and one force winning over the other.
In the societywhich is a conglomeration of human groups, the two major Forces that decide the movement of the society are 1] The force that encourages competition for Resources of the World and 2] The force that discourage competition for Resources of the World. The pace of the movement of any Society in a direction is decided by Which forces dominate which forces at that point of time. For example, Capitalism as a Force encourages competition believing that Competition give free choice and is democratic.It also promotes innovation. Another example..Religion as a Force(most of them) discourage competition for resources and make man fall behind imaginary Superbeing or donate his acquired wealth in the name of Greater After Life.
Generally as per human rationality, one can see that it is the competing for resources that is making human mind grow and bringing lots and lots of human inventions and innovations into the world. Some may falter in the process of competition but we can see Competition is leading to the growth of technology. However this also has its own disadvantages. The growth of technology is decreasing man’s natural abilities and also it is decreasing man’s immunity to tolerate to diseases. Now we witness countless diseases at the fore of human body and many more will come. These conditions will still increase the competition for wealth because we believe the cure for the above mentioned problems lies only in garnering more and more wealth.
So in this Clash of Opposite Forces, people choose different force based on the influence the force has on them. And now the forces encouraging competition are dominating the world leading some to riches and some to unbearable stresses and strains.
