Abstract

The two theories served to us, one is scientific and the other religious speak of the origin of the homosapiens-man The first in the Bible reveals that disobedience and sin work very quickly in human nature. The only one in the vast, distant universe we know of. Another branch describes a man who gradually evolved into a conscious being, less and less like an animal. A frequently asked question is why only man has a developmental question in intelligence, and other species cannot advance. Such a man resembled an animal in his characteristics, he was a hunter, a warrior, a conqueror, he lived in a tribe and nowhere is the virtue of empathy, tenderness, solidarity mentioned. Rare isolated specimens are still found in some tribes on the African continent, which live in harmony with nature and which we do not consider "civilized". When that civilization began it was hidden in the fog and Egypt, Rome, Greece, Byzantium, etc. are mentioned. But the word civilization is hardly associated with the “dark Middle Ages”. The notion of civilizations makes many proud that we live in an advanced world and that we possess so many rich sources of technology, scientific discoveries, the development of computers, the Internet, satellites, space travel. The other side of the coin that is not mentioned in the current "civilized" world is in the form of violence, destruction, scandals, deviations and the like.

A frequently asked question is why only man has a developmental question in intelligence, and other species cannot advance.

Rare isolated specimens are still found in some tribes on the African continent, which live in harmony with nature and which we do not consider "civilized". When that civilization began it was hidden in the fog and Egypt, Rome, Greece, Byzantium, etc. are mentioned. But the word civilization is hardly associated with the “dark Middle Ages”. The notion of civilizations makes many proud that we live in an advanced world and that we possess so many rich sources of technology, scientific discoveries, the development of computers, the Internet, satellites, space travel. The other side of the coin that is not mentioned in the current "civilized" world is in the form of violence, destruction, scandals, deviations and the like. If we look at how much violence, wars, rape, slaughter, torture, crime, corruption, fraud, discrimination, intrigue, inhumanity there is in our immediate vicinity, if we really consider ourselves a "man" as a higher being, it will provoke a series of reactions of disgust and questionnaires. . Most believe that they do not fall into that category, that they are moral, honest and exemplary members of society. Many wonder why in a developed society so much deviant behavior. It's not just about pure open manic, psychopathic behavior from the newspapers, but about "respectable" people who represent their countries, people in suits with ties, cell phones and briefcases, people who dictate and determine the fate of everyone by social rank below them. It’s about co-workers who will intrigue from petty envy, meanness, malicious remarks, underestimation, discrimination, and insulting people, or you at work. It is about families where violence takes place on a daily basis both physically and mentally, with quarrels, high tones, breakups, physical assault or spouse or children, to extreme deviations in the form of incest, rape. Families, aware of the ugliness of their lives, shamefully hide everything from the public, creating an image of an exemplary society and their lives. Violence reigns in the 21st century. Nasija is not in the form of cutting off, heads, burning witches, throwing lions, piling, cutting hands, but the germ of evil exists in the individual and most people no matter how good they think of themselves. The people of the 21st century are slaves to labor, material acquisition, taxes, the impossibility of treatment, discrimination on the basis of any diversity, the publication of lies in the media, the so-called crucifixion, which causes irreparable damage to man. People of the 21st century fall into debts, loans, have no job, work for an unworthy salary, live on the streets, in homes for the poor. The gap between the rich and the rejected is too big. And civilization speaks of progress over time several thousand years ago. The idea of ​​rule is the same, subjugation, domination, manipulation, exploitation continues, but the methods are different.
