Every great civilization will eventually fall because of human nature. Man is always after power and one of the main sources of power since the beginning of man is land. The more land you have, the more powerful you are (simple concept). My question is will the United States of American eventually fall. In the book that I am currently reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins the US has been turned into an area of thirteen districts controlled by the Capital. In this book the capital is controlled by an evil man by the name of President Snow. District thirteen has been bombed and is now the residents of the resistance who are trying to overthrow the capital and bring back a republic to America. This made me wonder what might actually happen to America in our near future, will we simply be destroyed by another country or will we fall into a war with ourselves in a struggle for power until we are reduced to thirteen districts controlled by one man. It’s almost as if the author is warning us of what could happen if we Americans don’t stick together and keep our country strong. I do believe that one day our county will eventually fall as all great civilization do, I just hope that our culture is preserved so that the next civilization to take our place will inherit all the wonderful discoveries that we have made and the knowledge that we have gained from our mistakes. I would hate for the next civilization to fall the same way we eventually do, because we all know that history likes to repeat itself.
