History is not written down for others to learn in a nonbiased opinion in the present moment. Historians must go through these documents later and decide what is biased, and what is not. They must read about an event from multiple perspectives and try and pick out what happened and what is an opinion.…

    The current political issue I chose for my paper was the Ferguson Black Lives Matter protest being the “new” civil rights movement. I found an article titled The Violence of Nonviolence by Simone Sebastian at The Washington Post, and in my opinion, it makes the best use of history for the 1960s movement. She doesn’t make the best use of history for the 2010s movement. The article describes how Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an organization, a movement, and a shout for racial justice. In the article Sebastian says both movements have had back lash by Americans.…

    In his Letters to Herodotus, Epicurus’ material outlook assumes that all things are made out of atoms, an argument that he extends to the soul. He raises the point that the soul is material and capable of sensation, and these sensations build out thoughts; however, this assumption tends to categorize human thoughts and limit originality and creativity. In the text, Epicurus explains that the soul is a structure that is material and primarily used for sensation; these sensations become responsible for our thoughts and reason. The soul’s relationship to the body is important in this respect.…

    In the transition from oral poetry to Herodotus’ written Histories, Herodotus kept many of the story telling narrative forms, most notably the habit of telling a story within the larger work, which is a device he uses more than Homer did. Herodotus presents his Histories as a series of tales explaining the circumstances leading to the Persian War. In the opening statement of his Histories, Herodotus states that the reason he had conducted and composed this research was “in the hope of thereby preserving from decay the remembrance of what men have done, and of preventing the great and wonderful actions of the Greeks and the barbarians from losing their due meed of glory; and withal to put on record what were their grounds of feud.” (Histories, 1.0)…

    At first glance it may appear that Herodotus’ account of Egypt is a clear-cut description of the country and what he learned there, intended to educate a Greek audience. However, a closer examination reveals that his intentions and motivations may have been different that originally assumed. The opening passage exemplifies the sort of conflicted view of the Egyptians that the author so frequently presents. Though, at times, he emphasizes their otherness, he seems to admire their achievements and credits them with inventing multiple cultural practices that the Greeks then copied. He begins with high praise for the Egypt, calling it a country of wonders, unparalleled in their quantity or majesty (2.35).…

    In Herodotus’ work, Histories, It is evident that there is a certain symmetry in the world, however, the further one travels from Greece the stranger things become. Herodotus shows not only similarities between Greek and Egyptian customs, but respect for Egypt's status as an older civilization. Although similarities are displayed, Herodotus evokes the feeling that the Greeks are still unique and he tags others such as the Egyptians as outsiders. The Greeks distinguish others based on their customs and religious beliefs and tag others as outsiders when those factors do not match theirs accordingly. The Greeks define others as well as themselves by comparing others to these factors.…

    Process of Findings Going back to the history of the United States, there have been many social and political changes that have taken place. The Civil Rights struggle of the 1960s was one of the most significant and pivotal periods for achieving equality of all African Americans since the abolition of slavery in 1863 – the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. There was an ongoing conflict between the races of people who lived in the United States, predominantly black versus white. Black people were seen as inferior to that of white people and rights were violated on a continuous basis, purely because of the colour of that person’s skin. The Civil Rights ongoing struggle led to two distinct groups of black activists.…

    Herodotus and Thucydides are the first Greek historians credited for documenting history. Not only are Herodotus and Thucydides credited for writing the first accounts of ancient Greek history, but they each shaped the future of historical writing in their own unique ways. The Peloponnesian and Persian wars were both important conflicts that focused on independence. Herodotus earned the designation “The Father of History” because before his writings, the Greeks had no word for history in terms of writing a narration of past events in prose.…
