That's quite interesting ... I'm currently studying something about this argument right now: with your permission, I'd like to share with you three basic points I recently considered about society during my Philosophic Sessions. ;)

This is very interesting and I think it might be right! thanks for sharing this! Let's have the example as well!!!

Well ... it's a very "personal example", because I found those three points inside my social history (I used them to define mordern Italy and Italians).

- Ethic Age from 1861 to 1940: Italians are proud of their country and they want to cooperate to politically improve it; everybody has the same system of values.
- Pathetic Age after 1945: Italians don't trust their country anymore, they just want to save their personal interests and dupe their own institutions; there're no common values due to globalizing processes.

PS: Thanks for allowing me to share this too! ;D
