Next, was the city of Man, who was linked with the love of self. Augustine used different eras of time in order to look back a history, showing that he was different than those who came before him and that he knew what was going to happen. The City of God illustrated the many catastrophes that occurred during Pagan times, thus
theorists of our times. Fukuyama’s book, The End of History and the Last Man, and Huntington’s book, The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, pose two very conflicting theories on international relations.

Eighteen-Eighteen by Percy Bysshe Shelly. This poem was about Ramesses II, or Ramesses the Great, was the greatest pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire, which fell in due time. The author wrote this sonnet with the message that Legacy will forever outlive one man. This is outlined in four different ways.

know I am not the only one that hates it when a black man dies for a stupid reason everyday. I’ve heard that 925 black people have died this year most are in Chicago. I thought history changed and that our black people would have all of their human rights back. Although we still have people protesting about #BLACKLIVESMATTER and then others are saying ##BLACKLIVESMATTER but no cops are being killed everyday. Which makes no complete sense to me.
