Environmental changes seem to have the quickest and most drastic affect on civilizations,

resolution is more plausible than a negation of it. I. Collectivism increases the chances of individual success The logic underlying this is simple. A society, by definition, is a group of individuals.

is acting in a naive manor towards the situation. There are faults with both but there is also a lot of truth to both.

In the article, "Small Change" by Malcolm Gladwell, he states that "The platforms of social media are built around weak ties. Twitter is

Traditionally, people who subsisted from their land can easily pack up and move to a richer area when needed.

Thanks for accepting Famousdebater and good luck my friend! Framework: Based on the definitions given in round one, we see this debate rests on ethics.
