it was a local event that took place in middle east not a global event.

@Tessali666 highly unlikely as today structure of systems are highly stable, resources to combat calamity abundant, communication to coordinate collective effort very easy so no we wont have disasters like the bronz age. You have to count extinction level events to get trough all the barriers of civilisation

@Tessali666 we are not agriclture based communities. Climate didnt push people away because it was hot or cold, its because it killed the crops. Modern agriculture is much more resilliant especily greenhouses. about mass migration we can do a lot of things.. housing facilities, welfare for migrants, or closing borders and building walls. We can track people that come and go in national borders, something impossible in bronze age

@Azknowledgethirsty it does to the people. Culture is here for a reason, the globalisation is inevitable that is fact, however there must be a comprimise to keep the culture and structure relatively stable over periods of time, long enough for people to adapt to the changes. Pursuit of progress at the expense of the past has always produced disaster.

@ArawnOfAnnwn your examples are from early 20th century and i am speaking of today.. thats not how you present a counter argument. go back to 1910s then.

@ArawnOfAnnwn You cant read... Despite acting ilke a posh internet intellectual. i said a calamity of extinction level is required to destroy civilization as we know it. A Katrina or a Indonesian tsunami would destroy any civilisation out right in the bronze age or medival ages, now we only have a year work and everything goes back to normal. Not the same as a calamity wont happen. Also there you go examples. I don't make the mistake of bringing out examples a century ago to judge today, im not that stupid.
