HIS 100 Module Five Activity: Historical Interpretations . Identify the topic you chose to explore: Creation of Earth Day Describe how exploring your research question improved your understanding of the historical roots of your current event. Exploring my research question helped me understand the historical roots of my historical event by showing me how serious it was taken from just the mention of the first Earth Day. It was front page news across the nation, Congress adjourned (unprecedented except for official holidays) members went to speak in their home districts, and the fact that so many Americans agree on an issue. Explain how biased perspectives influence what is known about both your historical and current events. While climate change is a historical event as well as a current and future event, bias has shown me the ugliness of “finger pointing” as well as the fact that we seem to be more concerned with change when it comes to interrupting our everyday lives, which is a change we can adapt to, instead of the change we cannot so easily adapt to, as it will be the downfall to all globally. (Frank, 2016) Propose how the narrative about your historical event might change if it were told from a missing perspective. I would say the narrative of climate change will only change when there is a globally accepted and agreed upon resolution. I do not feel there are missing perspectives, as it seems there are too many perspectives. Propose how the narrative about your current event might change if it were told from a missing perspective. The current event related to my historical event is one and the same, climate change. The missing perspective is not the problem with climate change. I feel there are too many perspectives without the big picture/common goal in the front of those perspectives.
