Lesson 2: Systems Collapse | 4.1

WATCH: Collapse

Sometimes, things go wrong. Empires fall, societies collapse. In this short video, Jared Diamond, the author of Collapse, covers a lot of ground. From the Pacific islands and Mesoamerica to East Africa and Afghanistan, Diamond explains the causes and consequences of collapse. But collapse isn’t just about the past. Are we approaching a collapse today, and what will be the role of climate change in our future? This video attempts to answer these important questions about our past and future.

Jared Diamond talks about countries here. When did the nation as a form of social organization come into being? Are there any societies that are not nations but still thrive like nations? Also, why was the nation, country, or state chosen as a way to unite people living in the same land?
