It appears that we, human species, are funneling our natures toward eliminating our more base animal characteristics through behavioral modeling. Legally, we have enacted laws and ordinances that restrict behavior in humans that we observe naturally in other animal species. Morally, we hold that a higher order of behavior is to be expected based upon religious and God based belief systems. Ethically, we use approve or disapprove disciplines to help guide toward "proper behavior". But it is logical theory, that we wrest our human behavior from animalistic tendencies toward a human species in control of its individual desires and instinctual genetic code. Todays society, on whole, is just one large half-way house trying to "educate" its inhabitants toward a systematic behavioral code of conduct. Whether this is good or bad is not for me to decide, what is for me to decide is what is my part in this and do I want a part in this. Security and safety from each other is the ultimate goal through this behavioral modeling, but what is the cost to the diminishing individual struggle to effect its own individual human evolution. Are we eventually to become a species that is progressing toward a herded life of acceptable thought and less individually instinctual?
