Though most of us do not like to admit or believe in the fact that our society will eventually collapse, it will happen. From the Easter Island reading we did, the natives had used up all their resources, which is the reason for their collapse. They used up all their giant trees which they used for canoes to hunt for dolphins. We too are using too much of our trees, the population of trees are decreasing more and more.
There were also people who gained power by promising to "deliver prosperity and bountiful harvest" yet when it became noticeable that they weren't keeping their promises, they were overthrown and a war broke out which made "Easter's formerly complexly integrated society" collapse. Like us, we have people in power called presidents, and if they're promises aren't that would be the downfall for all society, which can result in having wars to get resources to get our society to rise higher.
Our society also using a lot of oil for everything cars, plastic, ect,. Peak oil is the problem of energy resource depletion, in the USA, we're already experienced our oil peak, and as we learned many times before, "what goes up, must come down", meaning that as time goes by we will have lesser oil, and if it keeps going, we'll eventually run out, unless we discover something else. If that happens then we wont much resources, because everything we own is made from oil, or was made by oil, like machine handling our food, will cause our society to collapse.
