The End of History

I never realized that Star Trek had historical parallel  but that is also partly due to the fact that Star Trek was before my time (The series, not the recent rendition that entered theaters a couple years ago) But I think it is interesting how they say we have reached the end of history by establishing a democracy is most of the industrialized countries, which we all know have most power and authority in the world. I am not sure that I agree with the idea of the world reaching a goal (end of history) and history ending, because of two reasons. 1. I do not believe in perfection, and i believe we must always strive to make ourselves better, whether it is individually, or nationally, or even internationally. and 2. Because of my disbelief in perfection, I believe that History has proven that humans are in no way perfect, so because of human flaw, people will always mess up and there will always be wars.

  1. I agree with your disbelief in perfection. There will always be people who disagree with each other on how things should be run, morals, and other important issues that shape a society. While this is present, there will always be a conflict that brings us into the cirle of history.
