Our civilization is heading for collapse, read the analysis of the upcoming situation in the first two articles of the cycle:
"Our civilization is approaching that it will need to be saved";
"An environmental catastrophe is imminent. What do experts see as a way out?"
Arnold Toynbee, an outstanding theorist of the history of the twentieth century, argued that the development of civilization is conditioned by the ability of people to find an adequate response to the challenges of the historical situation. Any civilization must respond appropriately to the challenges of both the environment and the social environment.
Russian philosopher Konstantin Leontyev divided any development into three cycles.
- The first cycle: complete differentiation - the inequality of species in nature, people, classes, etc. Due to inequality and difference, there is a magnificent development and flowering of all being.
- The second stage is the beginning mixing, equalization.
- And the third and worst stage is the onset of complete equality. The emergence of a stagnant swamp, when all colors and paints are mixed into a single gray background, where there are no bright personalities, no brave deeds, no heroes, there is only a gray everyday life.
Modern humanity, as you might guess, is at the third stage, beyond which nothing is visible except degradation and destruction. There are such pessimists who believe that nothing new can be invented and humanity is doomed. But no, it can theoretically revive and flourish, gain a second wind, if it reboots into consciousness and switches to a fundamentally different ideology and life arrangement.
What should replace the vaunted liberal democracy? Trying to answer this question, today's political scientists and publicists again begin their searches in the past. In Russia, most of them lean towards the idea of socialism "with a human face."
However, it seems that in conditions when a mortal danger hangs over the entire planet, the only correct setting may be “Earth is our common home”. It is the universal responsibility for the planet and civilization itself, erected in strict laws, imposing serious penalties for violations, that is capable of preserving our world. Humanity has come to the point where countries and peoples no longer have the right to live and develop in disunity, whoever wants to.

It is necessary to generalize the Moral principles of mankind, develop and approve a Universal Human Ideology, develop a Unified International Legislation and choose a World Government from the most respected citizens of the planet.
In sports, this has long become the norm, and no one disputes the validity of this situation. Football in different countries of the world exists according to the uniform rules of FIFA, chess - according to the rules of FIDE, etc. But is sport a more serious matter than our life order? Uniform requirements for the entire population of the Earth are a natural and inevitable stage in the development of civilization. Otherwise, it simply will not exist.
I foresee objections here. They say that it is impossible to level out all the diversity of cultures and traditions of different peoples. But this is out of the question. I did not at all intend to encroach on the national characteristics of different peoples. However, it is worth noting that the inhabitants of different parts of the Earth have very similar basic moral concepts. And this suggests that different peoples have in common in goal-setting and the main moral values no less than they are different.
In this regard, a number of analysts admit the idea of the possibility of a single universal idea for all mankind, based on such values as "the prevalence of collective values over individual", "preservation of national cultural identity", "the rule of law", as well as "stability and peace as a condition human development ", - Azamat Seitov notes in the article" A single human civilization, utopia or reality."
