Here is the basic information including some alchemy (second two references).  Carbon is so old in human time that its history will never really be known.

Nostradamus wrote coltrains (poetry) that was to have reflected many events from the future.  Human beings have interpreted his poetry to mean what is convenient for its time.  Did he actually predict anything at all?\n\nWith free will choice, the threads of history have been bent and knotted many times.  Predictions are only as good as having all the information and nothing changing over time and living.

There is nothing New to God, but Mortals have a lot to learn, there has been many things New to Man Since Ecclesiastes.  all our Modern Technology is a part of Gods Plan. and we will continue to see New things.

Yes, it is inherent that the human race repeats itself again and again, whether it be mistakes or discoveries.\n\nI had read something in the last year that discussed this exact theory. Some scientist (I forget if it was a historian or another type of academician) had recently published a theory stating that society and people will always be rediscovering the same concepts and go through the same errors in each time period. His theory was that since the way we learn is through experience, and if we haven't experienced something yet, we will need to experience it to truly have a frame of reference. Thus society tends to forget lessons that have been learned if the people in that society were not directly involved in those lessons.\n\nWe can see this in today's society. We have already seen the atrocities of war in the beginning of the 20th Century - famine, genocide, discrimination, etc. Yet these same problems and same concepts are re-emerging as the people who lived through those times die and newer generations who have no real experience of those scenarios become the majority.\n\nYou can see it in every teenager. As they emerge from childhood and become teens, they start to really develop their own sense of independence, self-being and identity. The things we tell them as parents since we have experienced it ourselves become ignored by them. Their frame of reference is limited to what they have experienced so far. Since what we are telling them is beyond their frame of reference - it ends up being ignored - until they experience it themselves.\n\nInterestingly enough, this whole theory that this modern day scientist developed regarding this reiteration of the same themes and need to relearn the lessons of history and ideas is not something new. According to the link that I was reading this from, there was an economist or philosopher in the 1500s or 1600s who had developed the same theory and had given it a specific name. Of course, as a self-fulfilling theory, that theory had been forgotten until it was "discovered" by this modern day philosopher. I'm sure that same theory was discussed in ancient Greece or Rome or Egypt or China and had been similarly lost until it was "discovered" by the next philosopher.\n\nUnfortunately, I don't have the link anymore to that site - until it becomes "rediscovered" by someone else.\n\nInterestingly enough, this whole concept occurs in literature as well. I had been reading a fantasy series by Robert Jordan. This Wheel of Time series has this same concept. It depicts time as a wheel with the different periods as a spoke or arc of that circular wheel. When we are in one spoke or one era, we can look behind us and see parts of the wheel, but not the whole wheel. The part that we can see clearly is history. As it fades further away it becomes legends. Soon even that is forgotten as those sections of the wheel are no longer visible. Eventually though, that section of the wheel comes back to our frame of reference, along it all the mistakes and lessons of that time. Its a very interesting theory that Robert Jordan presents in his series and of course it is a wonderful series to read if you enjoy fiction.

In order to answer your question better I'd have to know what you mean by "traditional" and "modern". But I do relate them to Plato's Morality and to somewhat's Nietzsche's approach to morality.\n\nThe article for morality on wikipedia is very informing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality)\n\nFor the first you can search for his book "The Republic" and for the last the book "On the Genealogy of Morals" the links for articles on them are below.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Genealogy_of_Morals\n\nfor Plato's work:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crito (look at Crito's arguments and plato's responses for a quick ride on Plato's thoughs)\n\nAn overview on Plato's Ethic, this might be helpful:\nhttp://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato-ethics/\n\n\nI hope I could help you a bit,\nMarcos

Doug North's "Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance" will be essential to understanding where the field has gone recently.  It's much more concrete than Stiglitz' "Globalization", which, while interesting, carries a lot of opinionizing among the little bit of theory.  North is considered the premier authority on institutions in the academic world today.  I've also attached a reading list from one of the recent events in the field, and it's pretty comprehensive.\n\nThose should keep you busy for a while.  :)

Excellent question. Not many people these days bother to question how to prevent or get to the root causes of problems.  The global economy will drive a global job market which will loosen our nationalistic concepts of borders.  In truth, that sequence is already in full swing and we are beginning to comprehend our problems as global, that everyone of us is connected and what hurts one nation of people ultimately hurts all of us.  A huge issue related to your question that really hasn't emerged yet, but, it will soon, is this:  Since the beginning of human history, we have immigrated for jobs and opportunity, for freedom and safety, to escape religious and political oppression, and to go somewhere fresh and unspoiled, perhaps as pilgrims, to carve out a little kingdom of our own away from lords and masters, away from the decay of failing civilizations.  For the very first time in all of our time on this planet, we no longer have a fresh, unspoiled, truly free place to go because of air travel and phones and satellite communication . . .and intercontinental missles. Civilization can now reach into whatever place we go to start afresh with our own visions.  Immigration has been our species pressure valve, or escape.  And, interesting, those who immigrate are the healthiest of the species in the long run, historically, in that they are usually escaping putrid social, spiritual and political decay.  What will happen to mankind now that there are no more wildernesses in which to start afresh?  What will happen when people who are disgusted with a place and there is no other place left any less disgusting to be?  What will happen when the average man or women no longer has a chance to create and enjoy a NEW society and it remains determined always by a dominate group's definition.  This worries me.

This is an age-old and shameful prejudice. But things a changing rapidly, since mankind has reached its maturity about two centuries now. The new lesson stresses that man is one, and selfless love is the secret for our collective advancement.

a HUGE impact. look at the da vinci code. even the author said it was completely fiction and people still took it seriously and started to question their ways of life and religion. or take the red book everyone carried in communist china. that little book ruled their lives (along with mao, but he was the author so it's all connected). there you go. it can change a person's whole point of view almost instantly

Although those words were addressed to the past, they are also quite appropriate for our day.\n\nNotice also his words to Timothy, concerning events that would definitely occur in our day:\n\n"But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away."

Google it.\nDon't ask us to do your basic research.\nAnd ditto that if you're writing an essay, you should know this. If you have a text book, read it.

Lots of present day laws have some basis in Ancient Rome. I think the idea of aqueducts was also invented by Romans. Those darn romans think of everything.

Oh of course it does, and what they thought was very flawed by our standards today. Man kind changes through time, we should not be stifled by some archaic text.
