The Pendulum of Societies
A pendulum is loosely defined as something hanging from a fixed point which, when pulled back and released, is free to swing down by gravity and then out and up because of its inertia, or "tendency to stay in motion.“http://helix.gatech.edu/classes/me2202/2000s3/projects/swarner/definition.htm
