When people hear the phrase “history repeats itself,” those who disagree argue that, by the definition of ‘repeat,’ it is impossible for history to precisely repeat. This is true, however, if you focus on ideology or sociology behind historical events, repetition is very common. Recurrence of history typically points back to broad patterns. “Another way to describe these patterns or relationships would be to describe them as cause and effect relationships” (Pegoda). These relationships are just…

Due to my project’s broad questions, my research will incorporate and entwine several themes. These themes include the history of federal immigration policies from 1980’s onward, Charlotte's immigration and New South history, non-profit history, and the history of immigrant integration. The central historiography I will address, focuses on the history of various nonprofits' ability to achieve their political, social, and ideological goals (such as immigrant integration). I plan to engage with…

History is an important discipline to recognize and appreciate, especially with interpreting the present and future of society. It also creates and maintains stereotypes to determine a person’s role in society based on one’s class, social, gender, cultural and personal identity. The amount of privileges given to a person is based on their social class and ethnicity. As a biracial female who is also racially ambiguous, it is difficult to know my exact place in society. I knew the privileges that…

What has happened, what is, and what will be is the great question of history. Without the known, we wouldn't have a present. Without the present, we wouldn't have a future. Without the future, what's the point? One hundred years is a long time to reflected on; however, the past gives us wisdom for the future. JROTC is a program designed to benefit many people in all different branches. Such as the Army JROTC, which officially started with the passage of the National Defense Act of 1916.…

The world wouldn’t be where it is today without the revolutions that took place. The French Revolution which completely broke down the monarchy and attempted to change their ways of society, allowed revolutions to begin to symbolize a radical change of the past. Not all, but most revolts were violent and caused a total transformation whether or not they were victorious. There is no doubt of the importance of revolutions and it is evident there will be many more to come, as the saying goes “Not…

Malcolm Johnson. Characters in the play were also inspired by real people. The authors were also clearly influenced by the atmosphere of fear and accusation created during the McCarthy investigations and their own involvement in facing the House Un-American Activities Committee.

History is a mirror that reflects the future, and by examining it we understand what is yet to come. In all aspects of life the past impacts the present and the future; with restorative justice this is no different. In recent times restorative justice has emerged in various semblances, with different names, and in many countries (Daly, 2002). The genesis of Restorative Justice can be traced to agrarian society, and the thrust towards its serves as a resurrection of historically prevalent…

History is the actions that have been created in the past by people. We have learned that people can continue to do the right thing because of history. The quote from Aldous Huxley stating “that men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history” does not prove this. I disagree with this quote because we have created a better society by learning from the past. If we did not learn anything, we would have never gotten to where we are now.…

He was an Athenian historian and general. His History of the Peloponnesian War recounts the fifthcentury BC war between Sparta and Athens until the year 411 BC. Thucydides has been dubbed the father of "scientific history" by those who accept his claims to have applied strict standards of impartiality and evidence-gathering and analysis of cause and effect, without reference to intervention by the deities, as outlined in his introduction to his work. He also has been called the father of the…
