collapse of complex societies

The "Collapse of Complex Societies" refers to the decline or breakdown of advanced civilizations due to various interconnected factors. These can include environmental changes, resource depletion, economic troubles, social inequality, or political instability. As these issues compound, they weaken the society's ability to function, leading to loss of infrastructure, social cohesion, and governance. Notable examples include the fall of the Roman Empire and the decline of the Maya civilization. Understanding these collapses helps us learn about sustainability and the challenges facing modern societies.
