Aside from events, One could probably argue that vanity, gender, money, religion, and bigotry have all damaged it. They create an us vs them society. Bigotry covers racism and homophobia. Money and religion can be controlled or replaced. Bigotry can be reduced with education and training. Misogyny is related to jealousy, strength, sex, and hormones and vanity is related to what we consider beauty to be. Both are defined by our needs and our standards. Those can change.
