Theory's of History

First concept of history: Its linear- goes from before years to years now or the other way.
Cyclic History: theory that dictates the major forces that motivate human actions return in a cycle. Sort of based on Buddhist religion of incarnation
forces- religion/spirituality, politics, science, philosophy, curiosity, creativity
Hegel: didn't think it was linear or cyclic. He thought history was made that things conflicted with each other and caused a change.
Theory: Thesis + Antithesis=Synthesis (Two events produce a result) Thesis is event one. Antithesis is event 2. Produce Synthesis which produces another result and other thesis.

II. Event 3: John gets badly injured and tries to get home
III. Event 1 : John comes home with cuts and bruises.
Events 2: Mother finds out he was bullying kids.
Events 3: He gets sent to boarding school has a punishment.

4th Theory Vorextual History: Go from big to small, and then back to big.
Ex. Civilization goes from big to small, and then back.
Roman empire starts from nothing becomes big, falls, and then through Renaissance comes back to big.
