What are the four historical models?
1) Linear/ Fatalistic
2) Cyclical
3) Spiral
4) Chaotic
Explain the linear/fatalistic model
Definite start and end
Explain the cyclical model
History repeats itself
Ex: repetitive wars & dynasties have patterns
PROBLEM: history has 3 elements, time and people never repeat
Explain the spiral model
Time does not repeat, intersections merit similarities
Explain the chaotic model
History has no patterns
POBLEM: history looks for PATTERNS AND CONNECTIONS
