  • What's wrong with the world?

    I want to keep this pretty general and open and get some thoughts going about what's wrong with the world, where it went wrong, where you see it going in the future.

    Some might find this an odd place to post such a discussion, but writers in general have a different more creative outlook on life and I hope we can get some good thoughts kicking around.

    Re: What's wrong with the world?

    Well firstly, one would have to assume there's something actually wrong with the world. This is based on what?

    If you're speaking towards negative trends in socio-economic demographics or the lack of humanistic-driven behavior... well then it depends on which cultural perspective you chose to adopt. Largely recognized is the impact the global economy or if you wanna be really loose about it, globalization as a social phenomenom, has had on across the planet... but thats more or less from a political standpoint. Capitalism is lessening the borders, and as a natural reaction to an action, many country are seeking to reinvent those borders. Humans do better with them. Right now there's more facist polical activity in europe than there has been since before WWII.

    otherswise you may as well trace back to the division of labor. As soon as the focus shifted from the neighbour to currency (when woodcutters became tradesmen, as did bakers, as did hunters, etc etc) then the emphasis also shifted to from being placed on relationships to commodities, and the history was made. So you'd have to argue that we're are infact getting worse, and not just making a gradual shift up the heirarchy of needs (which takes hundreds, or potentially thousands of years).

              Actually, God got scared that they'd eat from the Tree of Life, and live forever. The "sin" thing is overblown.

                  Hey guys, per forum rules, remember that all conversations need to revolve around screenwriting. Political discussions are best left to other boards.
