happened repeatedly in human history, historians and archaeologists are asking the question of why societies fail by making disastrous decisions. To answer this question, though this is a complex subject by not having a single answer fitting the all situations, societies may collapse due to one the following reasons: failing to anticipate a problem before it arrives, or may fail to perceive already arrived problem and even societies may failing to solve a problem once it has been perceived.

mammals which are fully adapted to oceanic life. These are three groups of Whales in their phylogenetic tree; Archaeocetes, Mysticeti and Odontoceti. The first group are known from their fossils and are seen to be a transitionary form as they retained a number of features associated with land mammals e.g. hind limbs with feet and limbs.

most of my audience has heard of Busch Gardens in Virginia, or Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California. The Six Flags Theme Parks always have a jaw dropping number of rides. But very few hold something for both young and old vacationers. Fewer still actually have a resort within them. Even fewer have parades every night. Only one theme park holds all these, and is also several Theme Parks within itself. Disney World is just such a place. The park may close at night, but that doesn't mean
