“A renewed mind is creative and productive,” is a quote written by Kathy Bell, in her book Regression (Bell). In a society that continues to regress to the ways of previous historical periods, does it make you think that perhaps no one is working to keep our minds fresh and allow our society to grow instead of going backwards? Particular aspects of our society are regressing in ways that can be compared to those of the Paleolithic period, including the way gender roles are represented in our society, our ideology and the way we treat people, and being civilized. We are going back to women being the housewives and taking care of their children, given the high expectations, and men being the ones in charge. Today's society, like Paleolithic culture, has a monotheistic religion and has placed people back into groups similar to those in which Paleolithic peoples traveled. Even our society today is going backwards and losing its civilization, becoming a selfish and indifferent group of people. the people as a whole. For starters, modern society as a whole is regressing terribly to certain Paleolithic ways. For starters, instead of everyone getting along and being a happy society as a whole, we are regressing into small groups that we are with almost all the time, just like the Paleolithic peoples were (Engler). Paleolithic people were hunter-gatherers, which our society has not regressed to at this time, and traveled in small groups of people who did pretty much everything as one, like modern-day cliques. In today's society, we are pressured to fit into a certain group of people. While we don't fall into one of the more popular social cliques, we are part of our own group of eccentric beings who can't fit the mold of... middle of paper... an era. SoftPedia, March 24, 2008.
