plato vs aristotole
a.) There are many times throughout western civilization that History has repeated itself. We can take two of the people that have been seen as evil in this world and compare them to find that they have very much in common. The two men of war I am speaking of are Adolf Hitler and Slobodon Milosovich. When Milosovich started his ethnic cleansing campaign in the mid 1990’s it reminded us all of a time that, if we weren’t here to see it, we have at least read of it. It was a mirror of what Hitler was doing to the Jewish people in the 1930’s. The killing of Ethnic Albanians in Kosovo was seen here in America as a terrible disgrace, but many seem to have forgotten that this is exactly what "the greatest generation" of Americans were fighting against all those years ago. Beginning in 1989, Milosevic began systematic efforts to stir up hostilities toward ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and revoked that region's autonomous status.

I would also ask him of the rumors that surrounded his life. Such as the rumors of the many affairs with such famous people as King Nicomedes of Bithynia and Mucia, the wife of Pompey. After the civil war and the civil rights movement, wee again would think that the trend of discrimination would finally stop in our country, however we are now faced with the major problem of how we, as Americans, group together people of Arab decent. We now have anyone that resembles a middle-easterner being kicked off of airplanes, and cab drivers if Boston being beaten too a pulp. And Why? Because of the fear of terrorists. This is just another example of how the United States society is prone to racism and discrimination, and how history continuously repeats itself in this area. History has repeated itself solely in the modern time as well. For instance the Stock Market crash of 1929 cou
