Abstract
The inference that social development follows the same circular pattern and always ends up off the tracks is nothing new. For centuries, both cultural and religious statements have warned against centrifugal forces becoming too strong. These cultural and religious insights, thus, confirm survey findings, philosophy and the course of history.
