In Chechen’s Humiliation, Questions on Rule of Law - New York Times: "Ms. Soltayeva, 23, had been away from home for a month and was reported missing by her family. When she returned, her husband accused her of infidelity and banished her from their apartment. The local authorities found her at her aunt’s residence. They said they had a few questions.
What followed was no investigation. In a law enforcement compound in this town in east-central Chechnya, the men who served as Argun’s police sheared away her hair and her eyebrows and painted her scalp green, the color associated with Islam. A thumb-thick cross was smeared on her brow."
Clearly civil behavior is not s a stable state for the human beings. Years of training in a good educational and social system can improve them to be in this state longer than usual. However for most of the members of this 6.5 billion population there is little or no access to this kind of training. I wonder if some sociologist can measure civility of our socities and spot a trend, from the time we call the dawn of civilization. I suspect there is a flat trend which is a minuscule level over barbarianism.
