This book attempts in a brief and simplistic way to map the social and political direction / behavior of human beings using history and to identify human nature by studying the choice of the direction taken thus far. Whether by varying levels of ignorance, indifference, love, concern, determination or greed, activity or inactivity, humanity will unmistakably reveal its future strengths and weaknesses by the course of its own actions. This book also attempts to discuss and ask why we still have the same existing ancient problems in our modern day society despite our lessons from history, not just theoretically but factually. These problems are compounded with our runaway technical evolution which now heightens our perilous position in the 21 century, added to the deficiencies in our foreign policies and our rapidly changing ecology. Perhaps another appropriate title for this manuscript would be "the power and nature of human greed".Finally the author attempts to describe the possible remedies from a simple citizen's point of view and in terms that would hopefully be understandable to other simple citizens, in a great country where simple citizens are supposed to be the active part of a people's government. A people's government in accordance with the Constitution of the United States of America.
