Jared Diamonds Societal Collapse Theory

Global issues

Failure to solve a problem

Failure to act after perceiving a problem

Failure to Perceive a Problem

Political issues

Global issues for a society could be war, or threat of an oncoming war.

Another global issue could be climate change, which if it affects heavily the society, it can cause its collapse

Why are societies taking so long to act on problems?

Political issues could be government corruption, with politicians being brought by corporations

Another political issue could be government tyranny, with the government not caring for its people

Why are politicians brought out by corporations, if it can lead to the societies collapse

For example, Climate change can be an example, as we know it exists and countries are not doing anything to stop it
.

Why arent countries employing methods to make countermeasures for problems to act accordingly.

Some problems can just not be solved, for example if the soil is starting to become less fertile due to environmental changes, some societies can not combat that

Other problems that can not be solved could be poverty, and hunger

Why don't societies take countermeasures before the problems start to make sure they are better prepared?

Some problems can not be seen, such as the soil not being fertile is not seen by the human eye easily

The use of chemicals and pesticides have an effect on the earth, that we can not see yet due to it being way too early to make a judgement on the affect it has.

Why do societies not test certain aspects of their life to see if there is a problem arising and if so to stop it.

Problems can divide a country, further increasing tension and making the original problem worse.
