Ten Signs of a Culture’s End

There are ten signs that depict the end of a culture. Great civilizations of the past were destroyed when people saw these signs but failed to act. Each of these indicators is with us today.

1. The first sign of the end of a culture is that of a society which no longer worships or acknowledges God.
2. A second indicator of the end of a culture is the decline of the family.
3. A third important indicator of cultural demise is a society's low view of life.
4. Another sign of the end of the civilization is the prevalence of base and immoral entertainment.
5. Still another troublesome indicator of society's demise is the increase of violent crime among young people.
6. Another key cultural indicator is the declining middle class.
7. Yet another sign of cultural demise is that of an insolvent Government.
8. Related to this, a government that lives off of society's moral decay is another sign of the end of a civilization.
9. One obvious indicator that a culture is in decline is when the ruling class loses its will.
10. The final indicator of the demise of a civilization is the failure of its people to see what is happening.
