Conrad: Upon returning to the earlier point made on the definition of intelligence, no one can surely define an intelligent society. By concretely defining it, intelligence could possibly be another human attribute that will be the basis for discrimination – much more so than it is today.  Civilizations garner no more success than the people who live in it believe they can achieve.

 

 

 

Promethia: The third main point is that the higher the level of civilization, the better off the population.  This statement explains why people from countries of low-level civilization continually risk their lives to try to escape into countries of high-level civilization.  People who live in countries of high-level civilization are usually happier because the population is well off.  These people can enjoy better education, better medical care, less crime, better food, better jobs, better homes, and a longer life on average (Vancourt).
