All over the world, history is taught through different perspectives, and in each different country of the world, it has its variations depending on the country’s standing when the moment in time the history was taking place. Though each country throughout the world sees history differently from one another, the United States has split views about the foundation of our history. Three historians, Turner, Hofstadter
History of Film Although, technically the history of film begins in Europe in the 1890’s with the first motion picture, every innovation in the art world from the beginning of time played a part in getting there.

Public History is a relatively new field and even though it is not the newest field in history, it is still not fully established. One reason for this is that there is not an exact definition of Public History. It is still in its beginning stages and exists as more of a general idea rather than something easily defined. Most public historians find it easiest to define it by giving examples of jobs that fall into the Public History field. For example, Kelley states, “In its simplest meaning, Public

As a category of American religious history, African-American religious life and the history behind it has often forgotten or briefly summarized in most historians’ work.

But as time progressed, history was revisited to show African-American’s having a more prominent voice in America’s religious culture. One historian

After learning about the oral history project it appeared that it would be the same as every other project. A series of late nights slaving away on a laptop while stress levels are running high because of one big unknown, the grade you’re going to receive on the project.

Following the interview I walked away with accounts from my grandfather that I had never heard before and was honestly very surprised to hear. Additionally

History is studying the past and how it relates to the present and/or future (Class Notes). We use History in almost everything that we do. If we do not want to make the same mistakes as we did in the past we review our History. But there comes a time when we have to ask ourselves if the History we know is true or if it has been manipulated in some shape or form. It is important to know exactly who is teaching us our History. In the United States our textbooks are created and reviewed by the Texas

Zac Flint Review of the History of psychology For my research on the history of psychology I used the Wikipedia website. This site offers a lot of information that dates back to Ancient Greek philosophers about 550 BC.

As the medical procedures to explore the body slowly developed, the ideas of how the mind works

My research has confirmed all of this and much more. So I will take you on a tour of some of the interesting facts I learned of the rich history, the interesting people
Gospels are an intertwining of history because they trace the life of Jesus, his miracles, ventures and ultimately his death and resurrection as well occurrences in Israel across numerous historical accounts (Strauss, 2011, p. 1035). “The Gospels begins with accounts of “the life of the historical Jesus” (Strauss, 2011, p. 1035). It is important to remember “the Gospels are historical in that they are set in a specific historical context” (Strauss, 2011, p. 1022). History displays that “it is beyond

Actually, I am still in the most challenging academic course I have taken to date, AP United States History (APUSH). APUSH has been difficult for me due to the fact that I had very little knowledge of US history preceding my enrollment in the class. Furthermore, prior to this class I had never really had to study extensively to maintain high marks. APUSH has been different. Having little knowledge of this material, I have had to spend much more time studying. Along with the required course work and
History of Stained Glass Unlike the function of the ordinary windows that we know today, which is "to allow a view of the outside and admit light into a building; the purpose of medieval stained-glass windows is not to allow people to see outside, but to beautify buildings, control light, and often times to tell a story” (Herren, n.d.). History offers two accounts of the origin of glass; one from a legend about the accidental discovery of glass by the Phoenician sailors and the second

African American history plays a major part in American history. Not because any specific reason, but African Americans had to undergo a great deal as a race.

Ancient Greek history must be one of the many important things that I say must be taught in any general school. I feel that the classics must at least be brought up in a middle and high school history class so that when these students reach their college career level they know more than who was president and who won what war. Many may say that the classics that may have been a fraud, but how does that explain all the proof of these wonderful hand painted vases, the wonderful architecture, the old
