               2. If we can’t separate our civilized self from our savage self I which will take over and why? I believe that it could go either way. I believe that people would do what they wanted, and do what they need to in order to stay alive or make better for themselves. For some people it brings out savagery in them. People can become savages when they become scared or loose there mind and don’t want to work civilized. I believe that how you were raised has a huge part in this factor because that could determine how much anger or frustration you have bottled up inside just waiting to be let out. It also depends on how good you are in survival situations and knowing what to do and how to react the right way. But the people that can’t survive in these types of situations can freak out and lose their common sense and will not be civilized any more.

     3. How is civilization created? Are people controlled by society or is society controlled by people?  Civilization is created when people come together to despite their differences and bring together their ideals. They find the most efficient way possible in which to live and grow. After they share their ideals they put them to work not only to make the best civilization they can, but to make it run smoothly at the same time. I believe that at the beginning of a civilization, the people controlled society. But as time goes on I find it harder and harder to believe that it’s the same today. I believe now that the people seem to be living under society and that society influences, not controls, how people do what they do today. And that even though it can seem that society controls us as humans; we can change it whenever we want. It’s just that people don’t like change.
