Fukuyama

Fukuyama was kind of boring to me. I like the fact that he is hopeful, and does see history as having a direction toward good. I think he pointed out that at one point, we were more of a socialist/communist society, and now we are moving toward more of a liberal democracy, which is good. He believes that history has a direction, and it is generally toward the good.
He also pointed out that to have a true end of history you must have:
The end of human nature
An end of science, because science constantly changes the environment that people have to adapt to
This is a very good point, because science pretty much dictates our lifestyles these days.
