Decentralisation
As power becomes decentralised, people tend to be more self-regimented and have many more personal freedoms. In many instances of collapse, there is a slackening of social rules and etiquette. Geographically speaking, communities become more parochial or isolated. For example, following the collapse of the Maya civilisation, many Maya returned to their traditional hamlets, moving away from the large cities that had dominated the political landscape.De-structuralisation
Institutions, processes, and artefacts are all manifest in the archaeological record in abundance in large civilisations. After the collapse, evidence of epiphenomena, institutions, and types of artefacts change dramatically as people are forced to adopt more self-sufficient lifestyles.Destratification
Complex societies stratified on the basis of class, gender, race or some other salient factor become much more homogeneous or horizontally structured. In many cases past social stratification slowly becomes irrelevant following collapse and societies become more egalitarian.Calendar
Yearly Holiday
Yearly holidays consist of the British calendar holidays. Second Monday in October is Thanksgiving, which in this instance, means the people giving thanks for the fact they are still alive and have employment etc.Weekly Events Calendar
Thursday is the Great Day of Celebration as the weekend is only one day of work or school away. Thursday evenings, held in Zone 1, are set aside for entertainment, during which, bread is given away free. Tabletop games are played before the entertainment begins. Evening meals often contain pasta. If a Thursday falls on a public holiday, such as Christmas, this then takes priority.Article Contents
