Has humanity learned from their past mistakes?

Question

I need a different view for a paper.

Answer 1

Huh?

Well if your view was no before than I would change your view to yes.

More insight please!

Answer 2

Depends on what mistakes we're talking about here, but yes humanity has learned quite a few things- how to build stronger military regimes, sturdier homes, different political laws and better ways to govern people- of course more technological advancements in certain areas and not as much in others- this probably came about from mistakes in governing a group of people, and mistakes in judgement. Overall though I don't think humanity as a whole has stopped making mistakes- this is shown through selfishness and extreme egotism and anger that people naturally are proned to, also an unwillingness of certain individuals to learn. I think we've advance certainly in our knowledge of a material world and in the ways we use materials, but as far as mistakes goes- history repeats itself in a lot of ways: Wars, oppression, class systems and religious oppression, stereotypes and role conformity, stubborness, too much rigidity- history repeats itself in every civilization- groups migrate and grow establishing power- create a religion to keep that power, build up material wealth and trade, and go to wars to defend their wealth and then eventually they are invaded and a new similar empire is formed, with slightly different beliefs and laws....this has gone on- oh since mankind began

Answer 3

Of course we have learned ... our weapons to kill each other continue to become more efficient everyday.

No.

They not only make the same mistakes over but they keep making new ones as well.
