A 1934 Message For Today

By Elvis Rogers

Things are changing very quickly in our American culture and I suppose we won’t understand the full causes and effects of these changes until 50-100 years from now. I did recently run across a study published in 1934 that I found interesting. I’ll throw it against the wall and you can tell me if you think it sticks. In 1934 Joseph Unwin, a Oxford and Cambridge trained social anthropologist published the results of a massive seven volume study that he had spent over 20 years researching. The study title was “Sex and Culture” and in it he had thoroughly examined 112 societys and cultures going back 5000 years. The study included mighty cultures such as Roman, Egyption and Greek and also Amazon tribes, Pacific Islanders, Far Eastern empires, Native American tribes and all in between. He was looking to find common factors that initiated and lead to either the flourishing of a society or to it’s decay and decline. What he found in every instance and without exception was that the operant factor across all lines was the tightening or loosening of sexual conventions. When a civilization becomes prosperous they became increasingly sexually liberal and that lead to accelerated social energy and diminished “creative” and “expansive” energy.. Agriculture. art, architecture, military power, and economic conditions rapidly declined. A summary of his findings:

(1) Effects of sexual restraint - Increased sexual restraint either before or after marriage always lead to a flourishing of culture while conversely an increased sexual freedom always lead to a collapse of a society 3 generations later. (2) The single most influencial factor - Wheather pre-marrage chastity was required. It had a big effect either way (3) Highest flourishing of culturePre-nuptial chastity combined with absolue monogamy. (4) Effect of abandoning pre-nuptial chastity - When pre-nuptial chastity was no longer the norm the absolute monogamy, religion and rational thinking disappeared within 3 generations , or about 100 years.

If you would like to guess where our society falls on this spectrum my guess would be that we are probably moving at this time from the second to the third generation in the time line of decline. Pre-nuptial chastity and absolute monogamy ceased to be the norm during the sexual revolution of the 1960’s and has lead to all the varients we see today with no end in sight and if you have lived over the last 50 years you can see the noticeable decline in the economy, agriculture, architecture, arts and military readiness during that time. When did you last see a beautiful building or meaningful piece of art created? We are actively killing the effectiveness of our farms and military and the economy is just a house of cards at this point. Another observation of the Unwin study is that these situations seem to be irreverseably one put into motion and in all cases a declining culture was either taked over by another culture that was not in a state of decline or simply ceased to continue to exist from a basic lack of will and motivation.It’s worth noting that Joseph Unwin was not a religious person so his findings should not be viewed as slanted due to personal bias. If his assumptions about history continue to hold true I won’t be around to view the result but I suppose I will have been along for part of the ride to get there. elvisrogers@yahoo.com
