In the historian Carroll Quigley’s fabulous book, The Evolution of Civilizations, Dr. Quigley looks at the factors behind the rise and fall of civilizations. Through his research, he identified seven stages (of historical change) that all civilizations experience. They are as follows:

Mixture
Gestation
Expansion
Conflict
Universal empire
Decay
Invasion
In this book, Dr. Quigley defines a civilization as “a producing society with an instrument of expansion.” However, according to Carroll Quigley, when a society’s instrument of expansion is transformed into an institution that serves its own needs (regardless of the negative impact on society itself), it is inevitable the civilization will decay.

isn’t this “Social Injustice”?

Look up what social justice means, then debate it!

Michelle, you are no aristocrat===you sound like trailer trash.

I do have a trailer and love it,you should. Though i am not the one using language that would amount to trash such as: pee brain,trailer trash, stupid.. ect… don’t yeah think its a bit trashy of you. “Them be fighting words”.

Please get a grip, attacking someone personally is trashy!

have a nice day.

cultural values cause dumps in L.A and Santa Ana-HUH???

Michelle go take a double dose of your meds!!

“Social decay brings about crime, poverty, and neglected kids, who become the product of their environment, thus the cycle of social problems continues from generation to generation.?”

So make up your mind, pea brain = now you are blaming social decay for crime, poverty, and neglected kids-

isn’t this “Social Injustice”?

Michelle, you are no aristocrat===you sound like trailer trash. All the negativity and hate you spread will go back to you tenfold and grow exponentially- and yes you are creating awful karma for you and your future generations. I only hope that one day you will realize how stupid you are.

I think the controversy for me lies in how they approach the tour and whether it makes a display/mockery of the people or if it approaches the situation with sensitivity and respect.

Respect for what?? killer’s in the making? This ridiculous tour will cater to a bunch of left wing elitists looking at people like they are sub-human- is the highest form of disrecpect. These so called underserved and vulnerable people are no less capable then you of I of getting out of a bad situation. The difference is a choice to stay or go!
dumps in los Angles as well as in Santa Ana are caused by the poor choices and cultural and social values of the residents. Social decay brings about crime, poverty, and neglected kids, who become the product of their environment, thus the cycle of social problems continues from generation to generation.
Unless the cities break the cycle by making parents accountable for their kids and the school districts make education a priority in the lives of both the parents and their children the cycle will continue.
