This has me contemplating as I know there is various "anthropological stamps" on society as they are based on the social nature of Man. The concept I have been contemplating most is the concept of "nuptial stamp" on society, that society is in a certain sense nuptial. If it is, then nuptiality is based on the necessity of the difference of sexes, and if that is essential in the nature of a society, then homosexuality itself can never be seen as a society. At best it could be seen as a partnership, but partnerships have no legal (or social) rights to marriage.
This is all in the preliminary stages and so will require more reflection and study, specifically in the realm of social and anthropological philosophy.
What got me thinking about this is why civilizations in the past have fallen. It has been on what I call the 4 pillars of the death of a civilization, which are abortion, homosexuality, infanticide, and promiscuity/destruction of the idea of the family. All 4 are attacks on the nature of what we see society being. But why is it that these are seen as the essentials for destroying a civilization? If a civilization is destroyed, it is because the structure of society has fallen apart, so, logically, these 4 pillars of death really would be the antithesis of a free and virtuous society. And they are all inherently social. So, they must be the cause of the fall, but why is it that they have such a detrimental effect on society? This is what I hope to research, and any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
