Man is ,in a sense, a domesticated beast. Much in the same way that a master trains a dog, society and civilization have tamed and trained man. Societies filled with mores,legal reprecusions, and socail contracts have somewhat subdued man's wild nature.Usually man acts as a "good pet" who does not stray too far from society's acceptable moral codes, but occasionally man's true nature is put on display. Man is heralded, by man, as keeper of the world, whether because of religious doctrine, a sense of responsibility, or feelings of superiority man usually feels entitled to this role.As these keepers of the world man has created "order" with laws and social codes.
