To What Extent Does History Repeat Itself

believe that history does repeat itself, many of the ways our government works now

is based on rules that were written about three hundred years ago. The presidents of the

United States have not changed, when Barack Obama became president he was the first

African American president in the history of U.S presidents. There are many ways that

history has repeated itself whether it be for good or bad it has happened. Some examples

of how history repeated itself are general ideas like economic crashes, assassinations,

pandemics, natural disasters, and school massacres.

Most British people in the 1700s moved to America to start a better life away from the

king, that resulted in a revolution because no one wanted to be part of the kings reign,

instead

they wanted their own country to make up their own rules on how they could be
free. This is not the first or last time this has happened, even in the world today people
are trying to escape their current living situation or government. These problems are
happening in Cuba and North Korea. Most people know North Koreas situation but are
not that familiar with Cuba’s. It is very difficult to exit both countries in Cuba you might
have at least the slightest chance of getting away but in North Korea you absolutely not.
Many people live in lies, that is the main reason why North Koreans cannot get out of
their country. They grow up thinking that it is the best country in the world and that its
leader leads the rest of the world. Although some people have tried to escape it is no use
and people have seen what happened to people who even think about it.
One thing that has remained the same are women rights, about one hundred years ago
women would not even step outside their homes. Since then they have fought for rights,
for example rights to work and the right to have the same values as men. Although
women have the right to work, it is not in everything and they get paid a lot less than men
who work at the same job. That is one way that history has repeated itself.
People do not often think about what has happened in history until they are in great
trouble. When bad things happen, people start to think of how to solve it. In World War I,
there was no where to escape because the whole world was fighting with each other and
only some countries were allied with each other. In todays world that is happening by the
current president, Donald Trump, threatening to bomb parts of Europe and Asia. World
War I began with the assassination go Archduke Franz Ferdinand, that is just one person
the current president of the United States is trying to bomb a whole nation. I think this
would trigger another world war.
Segregation has been another problem especially in america, it started with the British
wanting slaves, they wen to Africa and brought a whole bunch of people with them to
make them work for them. This did not stop their it took hundreds of years for slavery to
be abolished. Even when Abraham Lincoln abolished it, it kept going in some parts of
America. The country was divided in between the south and north. The south part of
America had slaves and the north was where they were free. Some slaves from the south
escaped to the north from their masters one example of this was Harriet Tubman, she
helped escape hundreds of slaves into the north. There are some parts of the world where
they use people for labor and in return they give them nothing in exchange. This is called
slavery, some people do not want to admit it but it is.
Poorness is another way that history has repeated it self but has stayed the same in
other countries like Africa. Poor people have been around since the beginning of time
because there is neither no equal pay in the government or there are no jobs available for
people to work at. Rich people were born or rich families are took generations to make
themselves rich.
In India over three hundred million people are in poverty. They live in tight spaces
with plenty of room for diseases, typhoid is one of them. Typhoid is a bacterial disease
that spreads through water and food. Since there are a lot of people without enough
money to get clean water, many die of infections like typhoid from drinking
contaminated water.

Another way that history has repeated it self it assassinations that happens all over the

world at every time. Whether it is terrorism or bombing thousand and millions of people

die from it. One example of this is in 1995 where in Oklahoma City two en that where

angry at the government bombed a US federal building. It killed 168 people including

nineteen infants and children. Another, one of the well known ones was the 9/11 attacks

in New York. Terrorist crashed planes into both twin towers and killed hundreds of

people that were working that day.

Countries have won independence from other countries in recent history as well.

America won their independence from Britain in the 1700s an the Mexican people won

their independence from Spain 1821. As well as when India won their independence from

Britain long after we did. History repeats itself in many way.

Most recently there have been a lot of school shootings mostly in high school but

some in middle school, this has happening before for example in Sandy Hook where

kindergarteners where killed. There have been a lot of shootings in the past and present.

The government just looks upon the problem but does not do anything about them, so

they keep

happening.
Those were the was that history repeated itself, and comparing to the past and future,
most events have happened the exact sane or had some changes to them. I think that these
same events will continue to happen in the future, o person is not enough to stop the
world. If one does not take a precaution then it will keep happening.
