stable factors of civilization

We should inquire the notion of civilization and try to expose what we understand of a word that seems to involve all the things related to the human kind. Stable factors of civilization are conditions that make us prisoners and force us to remain still, confined to certain spaces (physical, ideological, psychological…). An example of this kind of prisons could be the concept of nation. We born in a certain country, a portion of space restricted by borders, that we cannot, freely, exceed. This is a factor of physical stability, a sedentary condition. Imagine a world without nations, without borders, the world as a single country, the country of the world. Still, ethnical, religious or linguistic differences between people become stable factors as well, primitive factors indeed, conditions that make us prisoners and force us to remain still, confined to certain spaces. Even further, climatic and topographic conditions are also borders, that we cannot, freely, exceed. There is a multiplicity of overlapping boundaries fences, sometimes coinciding but more often than not, composing a first complex function of stability.
