MILES TO GO BEFORE WE BECOME MODERN AND CIVIL!
1.
The development of human civilization from its
primitive state to its modern state is a long journey after evolution of human
species by Nature on earth planet. But why could not other animals such as
lions, tigers etc. change their carnivorous psychology and why could only human
species succeed in changing their psychology from orthodox-cum-criminal state
of mind to modern-cum- civil state of mind are complex questions which need to
be answered scientifically. The cultural transition of human civilization has
its own history and own process. The transition is a process of changing from
one state or condition to another. It is different from conversion. For
example, conversion of water from its liquid state to gaseous state of vapour
or solid state of ice cannot be compared with transition of human civilization
from its primitive state to its modern state. The conversion is a fast process
leading to total change, but transition is a slow process leading only to
partial change and that too step by step. Surprisingly, both conversion and
transition are post evolutionary things. It is debatable whether transition in
human civilization is a part of evolution process of Nature.
2.
The fact remains that the human civilization is going
through transition from its orthodox-cum-criminal state to its modern-cum-civil
state. The modern human civilization is not completely modern. The modernization
of mankind involves scientific advancement and technological development of
mankind and it can be observed that this kind of modernization has been a
continuous process of transition of mankind, roughly called as human
civilization. On other hand, the civilization of mankind involves reformation
of human-cum-social psychology of mankind from its violent-cum-criminal state
to its nonviolent-cum-civil state and this kind of civilization has also been a
continuous process of transition of mankind, roughly called as human
civilization. The transition leading to modernization and civilization of
mankind is not yet complete and hence there is continuity in this transition.
3.
The civilization of mankind is not complete and
hence even so called modern human society has adopted mixed legal framework of
two laws viz. criminal law and civil law for governing human society. The
criminal law teaches the philosophy that animals have to be treated like
animals only. Even the humans will be treated as animals if they behave like
animals and not as humans. On other hand, the civil law teaches the philosophy
that humans have to be treated as humans if they really prove that they have
reformed their psychology from violent-cum-criminal state to nonviolent-cum-civil
state by really turning themselves from animals to humans.
4.
In the course of development of human
civilization, the particular environment including particular climate of particular
territory occupied by human species and particular occupation adopted by such
human species for earning of their livelihood in association with such
territory and its environment have played important role in development of
particular human-cum-social culture in relation to such particular territory
and particular occupation. We can therefore find out different human-cum-social
cultures developed in different territories of earth planet. The different
nations of world have their different cultures. The globalization is a process
of developing economic interaction between such different cultures of different
nations. But fact remains that different cultures developed by mankind have not
yet become one uniform culture for entire globe. Hence, different cultures of
different nations have developed their own political separations and political boundaries.
The different nations are sensitive about their political sovereignty because
they are sensitive about preserving and protecting their particular culture. This
state of affairs only proves that globalization implying inter cultural
economic interaction can develop only commercial relationship between human
beings all over world and not personal relationship.
5.
The logical analysis of human psychology is very
important while studying and practicing law meant for governing human conduct. The
human child psychology is innocent psychology because of brain immaturity and
it is also monkey jump psychology because of brain ignorance. But the Nature slowly forces change in such
child psychology by step by step introduction of knowledge about truth of
Nature in its advancement. This psychological input, learning and change
process is slow and complex in human brains. This is the reason why we have
schools and colleges as educational institutions for human beings. The other
animals do not have such institutions. The Nature is their only educational institution.
6.
It can be observed that the law meant for
guiding, reforming and controlling human psychology itself is undergoing
development or simply it is going through transition along with transition in
human-cum-social psychology of mankind. This transition is developing modern
scientific outlook of looking at Nature from orthodox religious outlook of
looking at Nature in human brains. It is needless to state that outlook makes
lot of difference. However, the fact remains that there are miles to go before
we really become modern and civil. –Adv.Baliram More
