Social regression and after-postmodern shadows…


Each person has its shadow side where difficulties, weakness, faults, troubles, etc. are kept hidden or aside of day-to-day life. But that shadow has its own energies and sometimes it arises in thoughts, emotions and behavior. When two or more people live together comes a time when arise a kind of “collective shadow”, that is a result of intertwined minds, behaviors, fears and common believing. 
Through history mankind learned to deal with those energies in several different ways under law, religion, rules of behavior and respect to other people. 
In the first half of the 20th century, the world had two great wars and mankind had to deal with the confrontation with collective shadows. The horror of war awaked consciousness against the danger of global annihilation. 
But mankind always has some kind of ambivalence and paradox feelings…
In the second half of 20th century, at the same time that it was a fear of that annihilation, the science helped to develop more and more destructive weapons…and the post-modern speech was “efficiency” in every field…
In the transition between 20th and 21st century started to happen in several parts of the world situations of carnages and growing violence…
Now, in after-postmodern times, mankind should learn to deal with that kind of shadow… 
Are we having a regression in society to pre-historical conditions, or “pre-Hammurabi conditions”?
After-postmodern is open to complexity and complexity studies could help to deal with that shadows…
