Today we have decided to settle on Mars and we will establish a new world. Would it make sense to take with us all the books written throughout the ages or all the money in the world? In this sense, according to which should we organize our minds and our affairs? What is civilization? What is its purpose? Where does it come from? Where should it go? | ||||
"The humankind, with the skills of using hands, speaking, socialization, has become alienated from its own natural reality thanks to the accumulation and transfer of the knowledge over generations." (Işık 2016) Or, with the most optimistic point of view, has reached a life fiction far from its own natural reality. Aiming to advance in science and technology, the human beings have removed technology from being a tool, broke away from the goal of designing a more comfortable and beautiful life in its natural reality, and entered a process that may make the planet uninhabitable. Today, the social life of human beings, which has come to the point of establishing a new life on the other planets, is now converted on a fiction where technology is the goal, and all of its forms of accommodation, subsistence and education are been turned to be organized in this way. “Nowadays, the development level of countries is measured by their capita per electrical energy consumption.” (Karakoç 2011) The “Cities" first begun to be established to live together and cooperate, has now been converted to a settlement style; a form of society, a culture and a lifestyle. (Korkut&Kiper 2016) When we look at the historical process; “Around 3500 BC, for the purpose of ‘solidarity’ people developed what we call ‘cities’ today. Mesopotamia, India, Egypt and China.” Later, “In the 1500s BC with the help of animals such as camels and the advances in trade, commercial cities that produced nothing has began to be established.” (Ching, Jarzombek, Prakash 2017) A trade oriented centralization (urbanization) created a culture of competition. This culture of competition led to the emergence of social classes over time. In centuries, the domination that these commercial cities and their elected administrators tried to establish over the labor, has turned into an effort to dominate on each other and the trade routes. |
