Abstract

To analyze history is to delve into a world of a complex mixture of social, political, economic, and technological interaction. Indeed, it is these elements that define and furthermore provide some form of a substantive characterization of the civilizations and societal structures that have evolved and manipulated a constantly transforming world order . These structures exist with the ultimate purpose of progressing and evolving towards the future. To deny this is to deny the very essence of the individual and its quest for personal development, exemplified in the fact that human beings have undergone, and furthermore actively undergo in their own lives, a process of evolution. To evolve, therefore, is to move forward through time. Embedded deep within the context of historical analysis lays the ability to not only absorb the lessons of the past in the hope of properly applying them in the future, but also a framework through which to understand the present. Perhaps the most penetrating manifestation of this can be found in an examination of the youth and the promise that their progressive transformation offers for the future.
