These civilizations are failing because of the leaders actions such as, corrupt leaders, the leader wasting their money, and leaders killing off their own people causing rebellions. People wonder why societies are falling, and the main reasons are because of corrupt leaders, wasting their societies money, and killing off people.
The first reason why societies have been and still are is because of the corrupt leaders all of the world. There have been and still are many corrupt leaders.

He burned and tortured many jew with gases and kept many in isolate villages waiting for their death to come one day. He even killed children “Over 1 million children died during the holocaust”(Rosenberg Online) Those characteristics making him one of the most corrupt leaders in history.

In a society plagued by “otherizing,” people distinguish themselves and group everybody else as “the other,” creating trenches that divide the different groups composing society. Whether the difference be race, religion, sexuality, or political beliefs, society groups itself in a way that often provides “the other” with negative connotation, preventing a genuine unification of society.
