I. Introduction: I undertook this study to prove the legendary story about the Camelotâ¦An historic example of team, effort gone awry. In the legendary story, a few events transformed Camelot from a utopia kingdom into wasteland. This isn't just idle meandering.

Even though it is not verbalized, it's always destructive.
