The causes of the collapse of civilization and the threat of civilization are studied from political and environmental factors
Civilization is the stage of the development of written culture and represents a high level of culture and technology. However, with the loss of socio-political complexity, the decline in population size, and the impact of economic systems, civilizations will collapse and eventually be lost. Therefore, this essay explores the causes of civilization collapse and civilization threats from both political and environmental aspects and analyzes the potential threats of these factors to modern society through historical cases. This issue argues that political factors such as external invasions and civil wars led to the collapse of civilizations, such as the victory of the Seljuks and the migration of Turkey. Environmental conditions such as ecological imbalances, resource depletion, and climate change can also lead to the collapse of civilizations, such as the decline of the ancient Maya and ancient Egypt. In modern society, political conflicts and environmental problems continue to threaten civilization. Political controversy and the notion of a naturalized state affect international relations. Extreme weather events, such as storms and floods, triggered by climate change, cause agricultural, economic, and social damage, leading to large-scale migration. Therefore, modern people should always think critically and change occasionally.
