Describe in a 150-word paragraph the stages civilizations go through.

All civilizations pass through five stages: Genesis, Growth, Troubles, Universal State, and Collapse.

Explanation:

According to Arnold J. Toynbee, the five stages of a civilization can be summarized by the following:

Genesis - is the beginning of civilization. This stage could be regarded as the "natural" state of humanity. Authority and organization are at a minimal. It is primarily under the influence of neophobes.  

Growth - This stage marks the point where humans decide to over-power nature and utilize it however they can to acquire power. They erect fences and divide the Earth up by many straight lines.  

Universal state - this stage happens when a civilization grows so fast and easily that becomes an empire.

Time of troubles - because of the growth stage, civilizations often face periods of riots, crisis, social conflicts, and loss of authority.  

Collapse - The final stage of the process. The inevitable outcome of the very first neophile uprising for growth. It leads to a second revolution to go back in on itself. It wants not to want creation but destruction.
