Nomads and barbaric cultures emphasize animals and ornamental designs. Civilizations {civilization}| emphasize people. Civilization often begins with war and culture mixing, which spreads new ideas. Vitality, confidence, belief, and wealth characterize these beginnings. Creativity, stability, permanence, continuity with past, consciousness of future, internationalism, justice, beauty, spiritualism, morality, reason, and balance follow. Then feelings and ideas exhaust, and despair and staleness begin. At end, people fear war, disease, crime, outside dominance, radical change, and supernatural.
