What does the word CIVILIZATION mean to the average person? Webster defines civilization: Advancement in social culture. A state of social culture characterized by relative progress in the arts, science, and statecraft ' . ' Antonym, barbarism; savagery ' . ' People think of CIVILIZATION as a highly advanced, intelligent, well-ordered society that is the personification of collective HUMAN GOOD! But just how good is this world ' s civilization? In our journey of inspection, looking once again at what we surveyed four years ago, we have to say in shocked disillusionment, nothing seems to have progressed BACKWARD so far and so rapidly as the world ' s Social Order! True, the New Morality was already being talked about four years ago. But today the downward plunge of morals has landed it in the cesspool. Public disapproval has relaxed, and the world is rapidly swinging to unashamed AC- CEPTANCE— even encouragement— of premarital sex, adultery, homosexuality and other perversion, and public nudity is now making its first shocking ap- pearance before a world gradually becoming uninhibited and drugged into acceptance. Fashion has brought the mini-skirt and the micro-mini, topless bars and restaurants have sprung up— and even a few bottomless and nude have attempted to emerge. Now comes the see-through fashion for women. A whole new type of society has emerged— the Hippie movement, rejecting and rebelling against the Establishment, putting a premium on slovenliness, filth, free sex, and drugs. The divorce rate continues to esca- late. The prevailing format in television and motion pictures of illicit sex, vio- lence and murder not only has contin- ued, but now is reaping its harvest in human behaviors which it influenced. Motion pictures have headed more and more toward nudity. The Social Order today is acutely SICK! It supplies no PURPOSE for human existence, knows nothing of the TRUE values, has no knowledge of THE WAY to real peace, happiness, abun- dant well-being. If these are to be found, we shall have to look further In these four brief years an almost unbelievable change seems to have gripped the people In the rapid trend toward rebellion, disrespect for law and order, racial strife and violence. Law- lessness has accelerated, campus violence has become epidemic. The question is whether civilization is not about-facing into savagery, barbarism, pure anarchy. In all five of the categories that prin- cipally plunged ancient Rome to its fall, today ' s western civilization is following that precedent, riding to its fall, wi th increasing vehemence! r T •a MK Tf The Social Order ffi A new society is roaring on the scene witty a raucous cry of defiance. It brings with it new mores, morals, and moods.
