Describe in a 150-word paragraph the stages civilizations go through.

All civilizations pass through five stages: Genesis, Growth, Troubles, Universal State, and Collapse.

Explanation:

According to Arnold J. Toynbee, the five stages of a civilization can be summarized by the following:

Genesis - is the beginning of civilization. This stage could be regarded as the "natural" state of humanity. Authority and organization are at a minimal. It is primarily under the influence of neophobes.  

Growth - This stage marks the point where humans decide to over-power nature and utilize it however they can to acquire power. They erect fences and divide the Earth up by many straight lines.  

Universal state - this stage happens when a civilization grows so fast and easily that becomes an empire.

Time of troubles - because of the growth stage, civilizations often face periods of riots, crisis, social conflicts, and loss of authority.  

Collapse - The final stage of the process. The inevitable outcome of the very first neophile uprising for growth. It leads to a second revolution to go back in on itself. It wants not to want creation but destruction.  

the french revolution main idea was to give power to the people. the revolution was influenced by the enlightenment ideas, reasoning and skepticism pushed people to revolt against standards and norms in french society.

the problem was that the revolution caused political turmoil, and napoleon saw this as an opportunity and launched a coup d’état in november 1799. he became the first consul of france and later named french emperor.

some people see napoleon as a hero of the revolution and others see him as a traitor.

people see him as a traitor because he noticed the political turmoil and used this moment to rise to power. others see him as a hero of the revolution because he had some political and military achievements - in which he was committed to promoting the achievements of the french revolution - he had extensive public constructions, made a civil reform.

in a bigger picture, napoleon had some huge achievements in france which made him very important, but the fact that he seized power to himself makes him an undeniable traitor to the revolution since the main idea of it was to remove people from power and give power to the people.

there is no chart here so no one can answer this.
