What is evidence that society has not evolved, nor may it ever?

Question

I'm not speaking on a technological level of course; I know that we've become more technologically adept as the years have progressed. I'm speaking more of... mindset, I suppose. Why is it possible to say that the mindset of society hasn't evolved at all, what evidence or specific examples are out there?

Answer 1

the middle east is all the evidence you need
Stone age meets weapons of mass destruction.
When you see a guy on a camel with a machine gun, or a grenade launcher, it lowers your opinion of the human race

Answer 2

I think we've actually devolved. See, before we were at least open with stuff like racism, sexism or any kind of -ism. Now, even though in our mindset we're all a little prejudiced, we basically cover it up by pretending to be tolerant. For example, there was that incident at a university a while ago where a student had put a noose on the doorknob of a black teacher's classroom.

Answer 3

Sounds like you would make a good sociologist.
Well, study Pres. Reagan policy and then look at how things have progressed since then. I am not making a political statement here, just trying to get you more interested in how our society has changed over the years.
There will always be at least "two" views when it comes to politics. It is meant to slow things down and make sure that we got it right for the "bigger picture." Our children.

Answer 4

well, in the dark ages it was no big deal to kill somebody for the hell of it and walk away. leaders were warlords. today neither is tolerated. there are too many examples of how societies mindsets (there are numberous and different societies) have evolved over the last 5 thousand years to list here. i disagree with your premise

Answer 5

Tons!

Especially look at the anti-Semitism that has taken place over all these years. Starting with the crusades, genocides, holocaust to the vandalism at synagogues.

Crime rates are exponentially increasing in North America and Europe and Pornography is a major industry

It almost seems we are descending our mountain and its pissing me off. I want a peaceful world but no one is willing to make peace but instead personal gain.

Nice Question !!

Answer 6

It implies all of us advanced from a unmarried user-friendly ancestor, yet evolution itself is in basic terms the explanatory mechanism by ability of which speciation takes position. examine out it this kind, we've data that 2 billion years in the past there have been in basic terms unmarried celled existence kinds in the international. although by ability of one thousand million years in the past this is now no longer the case and there is data of multicellular existence. all of us comprehend for a undeniable actuality that this replace in state befell, we use evolution because the device with which to describe the replace, and so some distance this is a idea which has shown to be damned efficient.

Answer 7

Evolution takes hundreds, thousands, millions of years. Well, some societies generally don't burn people who claim to be witches, heretics, etc... do they??? Just because society has not really advanced in the short time you've been alive means nothing!!!

Answer 8

There's no evidence that supports that claim AT ALL.
We have always and will always be evolving. Doesnt have to be for better or worse or in a certain direction.

Evolve just means 'to develop'.

Answer 9

I would argue that society HAS evolved.. values now favour the individual rather than the collective. Actually, maybe that is de-evolved and come full circle..

Answer 10

Society HAS evolved. A great deal. All you have to do is compare 13-year-olds from each decade to see what I mean.

Evolution is just change. It doesn't have to be change for the better.
