    History and its movement

    This year I'll graduate from college. I feel a little bit sad. I'll be missing my classmates. I can't say that I like my major, but I did learn a lot, for sure. I've been learning history. The Historical education develops critical thinking and the ability to discern the truth among the false informations. You can predict what will happen tomorrow because, you know, history is like a spiral-->>(circle?). All events are, and will be, repeating and repeating. Of course, the different civilizations have the different people, the different reachments?--(what is the русский worrd for this?) and developments. But all of them have the same stages of life: to be born, to grow, and to die. There many viewpoints on this. Some people say that history is not a spiral. Maybe it is (a common way to say this might be: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't"). But I read a lot of books, historical documents like Magna Carta, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, The Russian Truth, and other diifferent resolutions, manifests, etc. I can't say that it was interesting and I read all of the pages, but those documents are helpful in seeing at the dynamics of the-->>(the use of the word "the" here depends on the use of society. If you mean each document describes one individual civilization's society, then you would use "the" here like you have it. If you mean all of the documents help you to see the dynamics of the whole world's society, you would leave out "the" and just say "...dynamics of society.") society. You know, there have been a lot of wars and rebellions. Most of them are caused by the same reasons. The peasants became angry because of taxes and no payment-->>(either "not enough money to pay them" or "not making enough money", depending on what you mean to convey), so they had to rebel. Later on other people came to power, and after some years or centuries the peasants (or maybe it's not peasants, it's already another class which called workers or proletarians--it doesn't matter what we call them) have to rebel again. History is boring in that point way. People do make the same mistakes. I want to say that there were no bad guys in history. They can be bad from in points like humanity, but from historical points they're were (this change was to keep them in past tense) not bad because history was needed them. For example, there were a lot of killers or thiefs who explored the American continent. They were bad guys, but they helped history to take another one step forward. I advise you to read-->>(a better way to say this might be "I recommend reading") "Ten Historical Miniatures" by Stefan Zweig. I don't want to learn study history in the future; I'm going to change my major. But you know, I couldn't help telling my teachers I'm glad and I'm thankful for them and what they taught me.

    I don't know how well this website might apply to your situation but perhaps it will give you an idea?

    How should I end this phrase? "A little bit about myself in Russian"... "Немного о себе..." Is it better to say "на русском" or "по-русски"?
