As humanity progresses, it is inevitable that more and more knowledge comes to be accumulated. These knowledge get classified under different umbrella terms according to the elements of our world that they primarily deal with. Depending on which element of Academia they belong to, they naturally involve different manners of approach, understanding and outcomes.

Reasonably then, History can be said to be an AOK that fundamentally describes the world to us. Through this we gain a better understanding of the world before us. The Natural Sciences, on the other hand, impart knowledge that have been proven after practical tests were carried out, or formulate knowledge with the intention of directly influencing the world around us. This is especially seen in the experimentations being carried out in schools and research labs, or especially through the technological advances happening around us everyday. This AOK clearly reflects an area of knowledge that works towards transforming the world at its …show more content…
Through the stories and historical narratives, we not only get to understand the antecedents of current contexts, the knowledge we gain also teaches us about the mistakes of the past. We learn from these mistakes made throughout history and are able to better govern, handle situations or make decisions such that we do not allow such mistakes to reoccur. Societies now take on different outlooks and political parties now adopt different ideologies.

The assumed quiet and peaceful processes soon turned sour and get to be brutal after much tension creating a crash between the Malays the Chinese. From this destroying occasion, the Singapore government learnt that race is a to a great degree touchy subject and ought to be treated with a ton of forethought and contemplations. From that point forward, the Singapore government has advertised the vitality of racial congruity through racial amicability day and the study or social studies that shows future era on racial agreement, which is an obligatory class. Nonetheless, history is likewise equipped to change the world too, and they do it through expectations. Historians examine the past in vast scale, and by doing so they can distinguish the huge patterns present or
