Civilization Is Not Yet Civilized

by David Cook

The world is caught in a vicious cycle with no end in sight. For thousands upon thousands of years, nearly every nation has cycled through a series of attacks, conflicts, and eventual wars. Even though the majority is against such violence, the tyranny of a small minority leads the way to global bloodshed. David Cook argues that the majority can no longer remain silent. For the first time in its history, the world is in a unique position to break this cycle and finally achieve peace. This is just one of the fascinating concepts Cook approaches in his new look at global conflict and resolution. Cook’s work includes the With the advent of global communication, the majority is finally in a position to drown out the minority. All they have to do is start the movement!

Reviews

[David Cooper · Rating 4 out of 5]

He introduces a couple of Native American beliefs ( feed the good wolf, don't feed the bad wolf within ourselves). He uses these to explain his view of humanity. He dissects the Bible and shows where it can be contradictory and he explains the addition of a paragraph ( that was not in the original) or the deletion of things that were. He is obviously a religious man who has studied the Bible and different religions, he quickly mentions Buddha. I agree with his philosophy, but his hoping that the 99% won't show up for the next war, unfortunately is wishful thinking. We used to say, "What if they had a war and nobody showed up?" This is not to say that he doesn't have a lot of good things to say that are practical.
