sometimes they change and sometimes they stay the same. World History is both similar and different from all other history studied from 5th grade till 8th grade. Similarity in history is looking back to a time and noticing it was almost the same as what has happened before or after. Difference in comparing history is looking at a time and seeing this is very unlike a time before this or after.

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
The History Manifesto, the ‘rallying cry’ for the historical field, drew attention to what ought to have been the methodology and research method of choice. This reanalysis of such a fundamental aspect of history came, contrary to the overt argument of Jo Guldi and David Armitage as a result of increasing global concerns and short-term thinking of professionals worldwide, but rather in part to the increased use of digital technology and media in scholarly work. The History Manifesto called for a
include articles that are profoundly insistent upon the importance of ‘history from below’ in developing and constituting understandings of health and medicine. As these articles were primarily structured and written during the cultural and linguistic turn in historical analysis it is clear that they present arguments that aim to revise modernist approaches to the social history of medicine. Most of which are interested in the history of published medical texts or the views of the medical elite. The article
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.

Theory and history I always thought never go together and when it was required for me to take History 302 I was very confused why it was a theory class. At the start and throughout the class it was a struggle to keep up what it meant to look at history through a Marxist, cultural, or social lens and how that had anything to do with theory.

veracious reflection of a certain person, object or event. The symbiosis between history and memory allows for a more cohesive representation of past events, however an inconclusive disposition exists that cannot be deputised for by either. Mark Baker’s post-factum pastiche, The Fiftieth Gate (1997), and the American Social History Project’s patriotic website, The September 11 Digital Archive, explore the personalisation of history derived from the emotional truth and the legitimisation of memory attained
