Haunting past

History by definition is the study of past events particularly in human affairs, where Historiography, its associated domain, is defined as the study of historical writing and perspective. In terms of my historic philosophy, history itself is the study of the past and the application of lessons learned by our ancestors in the present day, a vessel for the knowledge that has been handed down through generations. History allows us to establish perspective on our own lives and how our way of life came

The world that we live in today is more chaotic and everchanging that has ever been witnessed. One of the best ways to understand the future is to reflect on the past. Your book helps the reader not only to reflect upon and understand those who came before us but to understand how this relates to the world we still live in and even our everyday lives. Your book Refugee is a prime example of this idea and has helped me to question my life and reflect on my view of the world. To begin to explain this

In valuing the importance of the historical past, critics often tend to separate the past from the present, when in fact the present relies so much on history. Contemporary critics tend to frame the past as a unique site of need, as if it were not motivated by the present. When looking at historical works, critics disregard the pain of the gay culture and focus on the means of securing a more positive identity of the present. At the same time, “such acts of resolve allow us to ignore the resistance

King George III looked absolutely stupefied. The colonists should love their mother country, not revolt against it! Those settlers found that they felt content without Britain by their side, a concept which not a single soul predicted earlier. King George III gained an important life lesson that is present in many short stories today. In “A Sound of Thunder,” Eckels time-travels to the age of dinosaurs, and the tour guide stresses exceedingly strict rules about not damaging history. Nevertheless

events can provoke great debate in the way in which history is recorded and interpreted”. History is the apex of evidence that portrays a past event, it’s reliant on facts, attitudes and cultural values and is trusted with being the most objective and reliable way to view events, personalities or situations. Memory however is an individual’s recollection of the past, and it being personal and subjective, is fragile and often biased. The texts “The Fiftieth Gate”, ‘A beautiful life’ and “Maus” all explore

When thinking about the past and older times your brain will most likely jump to the colonial times and the era of the Civil War. During this time people were evolving and the world was becoming more advanced in technology and other areas. Nonetheless, all the good that happened during these times could not outcast the war and tragedy; and there was lots of it. The time period for this was around the 1600s to 1865. In that long stretch of period lots of events occurred that would forever alter the

As historians evaluate the passage of time, it is necessary to place various markers that signify a change. In geologic history, these markers can be found in rock layers and often indicate a large extinction event. In sports history, the markers can be set by equipment or by participants and demonstrate a notable change in the way a game is played. In human history, specifically recent human history, the markers of momentous change are usually difficult to quantify. Rarely can a historian look back

History is events that happened in the past to impact the world. Anyone can make history, but the events of that history have no impact unless one writes the history down. The quote “Any fool can make history, but it takes a genius to write it” explains how history is truly made. The quote means that any person, no matter how uneducated they are can make history, but it takes a highly educated person to make history and make the event known. Anyone can make history because history is the events that

about how our ancestors lived, and knowing it will give you a solid foundation for discerning between right and wrong. Looking back at our history can prevent us from making the same mistakes that were made before. God even commanded us to remember the past. Mankind recorded history through books, songs, and stories that were passed on through generations, but those records can be confusing. Just reading and hearing about something doesn’t give you a clear understanding or view on what happened before

they will have the equal happiness in the presence and in the future. According to Daniel Gilbert, people experience hard time to conjure completely different images of tomorrow than today’s(78). He depicts the future as a hole with no walls and the past as a wall with some holes. In addition, Daniel Gilbert uses an example of people
