Technology
Does anyone think that as much as we grow as a race and invent and develop all this new technology to 'aid our living' that we are actually becoming stupider through our growing intelligence by the way we continue to act as a result of such new technology...The atomic bomb was a great example.
The way we treat people now, they way we can declare war so freely, the way we invest more and more into developeing countries, America, England, even Australia to a certain extent but forget the countries still struggling to live and build basic living arrangements/techniques: Africa being the prime example there.

Much of Europe spent most of the 18th and 19th destorying much of the world putting people in to slavery and taking over large parts of the world on a whim.
Today is relatively peacefull and civil in comparison to pretty much any period of history.
Man WILL destory himself in time, exactly. We aren't living in peacful times at all, just because it seems that way looking back at past centuries. We have leaders like Bush, declaring war on a whim, and while we sit at home watching telelvision, playing on our computers or whatever new gadget we have bought, MP3 player, mobile phone, we have Africa struggling to stay alive. Why arent we doing anything with this new technology and power it gives us to reduce number of deaths from poverty in thrid world countries? We are just too involved with ourselves as a growing generation and country that we stick our heads in the sand when it comes to the dying children in Etheopia...
