The correct answers are I and II. I. Every civilization follows the cycle of a biological organism and experiences stages similar to birth, growth, maturity, old age, and death. II. The fate of a society is determined by how it responds to and overcomes challenges.
The theory of cyclical change believes that civilizations follow similar cycles like a person, an animal or any biological organism. There is a beginning or birth, a growth, a maturity phase, and termination or death. Then, how the people respond to those different phases is what makes the society a successful and long lasting one, or it decays in a shorter period. For cyclical researchers, change in societies is a continuous motion with no direction of birth, growth, challenges and transformation or decadence.
