Degradation is the definition of a process in which the characteristics of a phenomenon, a single object or spiritual qualities deteriorate. It is regression, regression and destruction. In other words, to degrade is to act in opposition to progress, development.
Destruction, aging is a process that affects everything on Earth
In fact, is it possible to stop the decomposition of a corpse or wood, the aging of the body, the weathering of cracks in the rocks, the drying up of rivers? Of course, no one can stop the natural process of degradation of all this. To degrade means to lose one's positive qualities. Although how to stop this process, slow down the destruction and aging, modern scientists have learned. Wooden and metal structures undergo special treatment, often chemical, covered with protective layers. Thanks to these actions, it significantly increases their service life. Trees are planted along the edges of the ravines, which with their roots prevent a further increase in the crack. Dams are built in rivers to regulate the water level in reservoirs. And the problem of aging does not go unnoticed:scientists are quite fruitfully working in this direction, and today there are already separate methods that tell how you can stop the aging process, save yourself from many diseases and failures in the subtlest system of the body.
Degradation of society
But more and more often the problem of the general degradation of the human population is put on the agenda today. This is the decline of moral values, the intellect of a large number of people, the decline of morality in society. And there are many reasons for this: alcoholism, drug addiction, the influence of television, computer games. Psychologists say that a day that has passed without acquiring any knowledge, spiritual growth is one step towards degradation. "Don't let your soul be lazy!" - called Nikolai Zabolotsky. But his saying should be supplemented: the brain and body cannot be lazy either. It is easy to start on such a path, to start degrading. But turning back, towards development and self-realization is much more difficult.
To develop or degrade is up to the individual to decide
Personal degradation is self-destruction, a process that occurs not due to time and the influence of natural factors, but due to purposeful self-destruction. It has been proven that the aging of human organs is controlled by the brain. And if you do not constantly give him food for development, he weakens. This means that its influence on the processes occurring inside a person becomes extremely weak. A degrading person is one who has let his development take its own course, has withdrawn himself. He is not interested in books on whichworth thinking about, films that require the work of the soul, he is too lazy to strain when learning new things, acquiring knowledge and skills is painful for him. So, this is how a person grows old - and not the years are to blame, but his internal installation.
