Are the 'civilized' people actually more barbaric?

I viewed a few minutes of a movie entitled "The Gods Must be Crazy" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080801/) ... and just this little introduction to the video was quite interesting. It opens with a narrative of the bushmen who live in the bush of the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa. These people lead simple lives, with no thought of owning any single item, sharing all things with all members of their families. Of course, this movie is from 1980, so some of the realities of their living conditions may not be entirely true now ... but you must consider the chance that they are more civilized than we!

The point made was this. They have adapted to their single environment. They don't need money, they hunt never going hungry, and live in simplicity ... which in modern day society we have self-help books about leading more simple lives! They live in unity and harmony with each other, and their surroundings, instead of steadily destroying what resources they have!

On the contrary, we lead lives demanding adaptation to tons of environments - work, commuting, home life, weekend mentalities, work day mentalities, etc ... We are driven by some invisible force making us miserable and running for the most efficient and successful options, whatever they be. This force may be called 'pace' or 'materialism' ... is this not the driving force of American society? And the worst is that this "culture" is spreading all around the world! Increase commercialism and materialistic drives, and witness the misery upon misery on the faces and countenances you meet!

We, the "civilized," are no more driven by the rise and setting of the sun, than we are by some minutes according to a clock, according to "work days" ... Now I know God instated work and that work is good, but I don't think He meant it to be the way it is today!

So, I propose again, are the "civilized" people actually to barbaric? You decide!
