Society Survives through Morality (part 3)

 For this final explanation of my theory, let me present one last review of my last two posts:

A child that does not share, in general, has less friends because they are not fun.

A (known) murderer has no friends because no one wants to die.

A society with no creation of new members will eventually cease to exist. 

The definition of society and its survival :

Regarding my understanding of a society, the existence of a society is based on the distinction of having members to be in the society; the definition is circular logic, and there is no other way to describe it. A group of members form a society, therefore, a society must have a group of members. (If you're not with me, don't forget to exhale; it's a very important part of the breathing process and you obviously need to be reminded). 

Let's think of the idea of a society as a living, breathing entity: its ultimate goal is survival. It always wants to exist and knowing that it must have members to exist, it wants to perpetuate the existence of those members as well.

We know that society is just an idea though, but as humans we are always defining things for our understanding.

We are programmed with a need to survive; our survival consequently yields the survival of the society. I believe we can all agree that it is our intelligence that has allowed us to thrive on Earth. Growing our numbers and technology allows us to inhabit many places of the world and, in general, live longer than before. The longer we live, the longer our society exists. This should be a sufficient segway into the "progression" aspect of my primary thought.

Our society dictates that we must share morals, otherwise we will suffer a loss of "togetherness".

Morals are ideas and beliefs that drive our actions.

Ideas and beliefs generally group us together, (as it is rare to find a team or club that does not have a collective set of ideas and beliefs). Children who are not taught to share tend to have less friends and, therefore, are not part of a group.

Grouping, in which the members share ideas, can be labeled as a society. If the murderer is feared as a threat by members of a society, the society will not allow them to remain in its ranks (so the murderer is sent to prison). A group is maintained through a collective effort of all members.

Teaming up is done to reach a common goal, which, in the context of the fragility of life, is survival. Throughout human history, our technological advancements, whether it be the harnessing of fire or the medical advances that prolong our lives, have allowed us to prosper and learn from each other, increasing all humans' ability for survival. This is progression!

 Allow me to restate my thesis:

"The morals that exist within a society are held for the sake of the society's progression."

A society with functioning members working for the good of the collective through advancement and preservation of morals (among a majority) is more likely to survive as a single organism. 

Think of the human body. It functions just like it's supposed to as long as all parts work in unison. When even one thing goes wrong for long enough: Diabeetus.

You didn't think I could wait this long to crack a joke, did you?
