- In my opinion, history should be looked at through a linear perspective. It can be argued that history is cyclical, as it tends to repeat itself. However there have been chronological events that have happened throughout history which helped humanity evolve due to their linear nature. Each event finds itself upon a linear scale of years from the past. Knowing dates of important events gives credence to the practice of looking at history from a linear perspective.
