Horrible Histories

When a historian looks at religious history they must look at it objectively, understanding that it does not matter which, if any, god(s) is/are real but what mankind is willing to do in the name of god. Historians must also take notice of what aspects of god one is willing to sacrifice for the good of society. I will try to keep these ideas in mind throughout this essay because of the vast difference between what is religiously acceptable, what is socially acceptable, and what is morally acceptable

A somewhat impertinent question to the GOP: Were you lying the whole time about repealing Obamacare? History has taught us that sometimes it’s inflection points are difficult to discern in the moment. Often it takes events around these points to provide context. Examining the past is through the objective lens of hindsight makes it easy to determine these points, but not so for those in the midst of them. However, one can use past events and the immutable laws of human nature to look ahead and

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 course of history and how our world is shaped today. Not many of these events were positive though. However, among all these events and the chaos in the world, there was one very “popular” debate that kept popping up no matter the time frame. This

Within the past decades archaeologists have been working hard to discover more about Chinese cultural history through examination, classification, and interpretation of their artifacts. For instance, If one were to examine an ancient vessel he may not realize the significance of the details which signifies the beliefs of the people from the era. To prove that the ancient artifacts have deeper symbolical meaning we will examine the piece Rectangular Wine Vessel With Lotus And Crane. First, we will

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 at one time

Early Saturday morning, I attended the Historic Brownsville Museum. I remembered visiting before to utilize the restroom since it was the only building close to the cemetery where I was volunteering. The restrooms were awesome because of their antiquity therefore I attended one more time for this project. As I entered for the second time, I saw shelves of merchandise or souvenirs from the museum. The lady up front charged my friend and I two dollars and gave us directions of the different halls and

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.

When looking into past events there will always be more than one side to a story, yet for many centuries the study of history concentrated on the retail of an specific person or group who would generally impose their own ideas and perspective of the past. This creates something called historical bias which in term makes most of the historical documents fallacious. Architectural history is no stranger to this trend; since most

Recording history is very important. History tells us 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

Prostitution rarely ever seems to be a talking point among World War I historians. Many under the impression that discussion about such topics regarding life behind the front detracts from what happened during combat. However, this interpretation of history is rather unsettling since it silences a tremendous portion of WWI from readers who wish to understand more about its impacts on the life of soldiers and society. Wars are fought by people, therefore, they should be written about as such, rather than
