Truth and Lies: the Thin Line Between Civilization and Savagery

 

Essential Questions:

  • Why is civilization important, and what factors support or destroy its fabric?
  • In the face of the savage reality of human behavior, why do people continue to pursue the concept of civilization?
  • What are the positive and negative aspects of chaos and order?
  • Do absolute or universal truths exist?  How does perspective shape or alter truth?
  • How does the individual face his or her own savagery and hypocrisy?
  • What is the truth of the darkness at the heart of civilization and the civilized human being?
