Based on my observations, I would like to propose an analogy. Like every analogy, mine is also not perfect. My analogy is, a society is like a metal. Societies stay together like the molecules of a metal stay together.
In a metal, the valence electrons are delocalized throughout the crystal, providing a strong cohesive force that holds the metal atoms together. Valence electrons in a metallic solid are delocalized, providing a strong cohesive force that holds the atoms together. The strength of metallic bonds varies dramatically.
Within a society when the individuals act together and share values, the bond between them would be strong. It would take quite some effort to break up the society into individuals. On the other end, the values of a society change over time. When too much individualism and polarity arise among the individuals, the society weakens. It’s like heating a metal. As you heat up, the electrons are not shared anymore and the bonds break up and the solid turns into a liquid and then into a gas (individual atoms).
Nowadays, I see too much individualism and polarity among societies with so many causes; this signals a total break up in the near future.
Solution is a Cohesive Society.
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
“The Second Coming” by William Butler Yeats
