John Kenneth Muir Analysis

John Kenneth Muir analyzes the issue over the post-apocalyptic destruction, in which he studies the effect on human civilization by asking the viewer, “How many would act in the same fashion; refusing to trust "strangers" until they knew that the risk was passed?” One of the effects Muir mentions throughout the reassessment is the loss of hope for the greater good of a social club.
