How I Would Express the World's History
In my opinion, a timeline is the best way to consider the progress of history up until why we have covered in the duration of this course. I feel that a timeline is the best way to express the course of history because timelines are very good in showing sequence. In addition to it's proper structural structure, a timeline can also hold as much information as it wants. Each and every significant even can be simply be branched off the main timeline. Color coding on a timeline would also further support the accuracy of a structural depiction of history. This is why a timeline would seve as the ideal shape, which I would use to consider the progress of history. I also have an alternative solution, for considering the progress of history. Instead of a timeline, I would also find it useful to have a tree like diagram that begins with the start of human civilization, and then branch off into divisions based on how humans separated and established themselves in different parts of the world. Each division of branches would continue until it ends up ultimately to the establishment of every civilization/country that exists today. This method will not only depict history in a sequential order, but it will also illustrate in high detail, what events lead to other events. It would almost be like a family pedigree of one person, except it will be historical events and the progression/devision/diversity of human beings as a whole.

I like the tree idea! I hadn't thought of it like that before...
