Camelot

The Camelot Principle...
(1) A society begins in it's unstructured dark ages.
(2) Then it has something or someone propel it to heights of glory and achievement.
(3) When things are at their peak, the basest of lowly human traits are elevated, accepted, and take over.
(4) The society falls, either into oblivion, or into a position far below that which it occupied in it's glory days.

It happened in Camelot and it has commonly taken place throughout recorded history. Most indications are that our society is teetering around area 3. Falling to #4 could be in the distant future, or with the speed things have been changing, it could arrive rapidly.
