I think that No, I think that we have always been uncivilized and barbaric and will remain so.

Humans are not barbaric,it is only that in most cases the mind processes gravitate towards that what we call as sinful activities.Technology, which is the hallmark of mankinds progress and evolution is many times misused by him resulting in disastrous events.We tend to take everything for granted not realizing the harm that we are doing to nature and ourselves in the process.Man, is an evolving creature and in the process of moving forward in the evolutionary cycle does some acts which go against civilization and lead to destruction of innocents.However there are many who go on with their lives,struggling yes, but going ahead nevertheless.The only way to overcome all this to move towards that one Superpower whom we call as God and is the only constant ina an everchanging world.Do not despair, for Man has still to realize his full potential and when he eventually does ,there is nothing that can stop him to go towards his final goal of liberation.

Hmmm.. your opinion is also right. But I watch that every person is so mean full specially in metro. They are so selfish, they do not have no interest in human being life, for their profit they can do anything to others. For example our politician, they can do everything for their chair,power. God do nothing, GOD gives us brain, and heart, but people so heart less.

There is always a good side to man's nature and to those who are doing their best to be good, we owe our developments. Although many chose to act as uncivilized is something we commonly see around us. A saying goes..."Man have learned to fly in the air like birds and swim in the ocean like fishes but finds it difficult to walk on earth like men". enjoy!

I don't think I would use the terms uncivilised and barbaric, but I do believe that man is capable of uncivilised and barbaric nature and we would see much more of it without the restraints we have in our legal system and our way of life. I would also say we have seen and are seeing a definite decline in moral and ethical standards, a decided lowering of discipline, and a resultant decline in social behaviour coupled with a rise in the crime rate. Of course, there are and always will be honest, law-abiding citizens who decry what we are witnessing, but the world is still going downhill, despite its apparent "progress" in other areas.

Well, Im not sure about that. I think as civilization progresses, man will become less barbaric? I can tell of so many things that have changed, which were considered " out -of- question" previously.

While developing the civilization, we ignored few things. These are basic humanity, relationship, ethics and values, attitudes and true meaning of life. Yes, we have developed and those are the urbanization, science, communication, economic games etc.

In the name of developement, we have become really developed in the context of economy, urbanization, communication, science etc. But for attaining those we have become barbaric in the regards to humanity, relationship, socialization, family, ethics and values, attitudes, true meaning of life etc. While developing we for got to look into these aspects. Thank you.

I agree with you. With all the fighting and war that we have, it is hard to believe we will all ever get along. Here is to hope of the future we can before it is too late. Ainge
