Reflection John Christesen This section focusses on attempting to find out about history that way we don't commit similar errors for present and future. This chapter takes you on a visit through the history of research on media effects. It sparked an enthusiasm for the feeling that most research should be firmly comprehended of its advancement of time. As clearly portrayed on the section of research. Generally speaking history is one of those things I don't tend to look after. Neither did it…
there is still one moment that remains more special than others. It's been five years since I took AP European History with Mr. Hanna, but it still stands out as one of the best classes I have ever taken. Given that five years later I find myself as a Government major it may sound a bit obvious why I would like such a class. Yet, the best part wasn't what he taught, but how he taught it. History is notorious for being a "downer", and although I've always thought otherwise, it's fair to say that…
all written descriptions of events or narratives employ figurative language constructed in a prose form. He creates this theory to suggest that the written form of the novelist or the poet is shared with that of the historian. In the retelling of history the historian must make sense of writing which has been designed with its own designated beginning, middle, and end and is enforced with a political point of view or author agenda, a process similar to what a novelist or poet might do.

of Arizona had such a problem with the Latin Studies Program. In high school, I took both AP US History and AP European History. In both of these courses, we learned about radical thinkers and doers and people who decided to revolt against the status quo. Both of these courses are fine for students to learn, it’s fine for us to learn about Napoleon and the American Revolution, so what makes the history of Latin American different? Is it because we live in such an Eurocentric America, that it’s…
Kathryn Moore HIS 101 UWSP February 22, 2017 Question 1 History comes in all shapes and sizes. Without it, the world would be lost. Global history, pre-history, and ancient history all provide the world with evidence as to what the world is, how the world came about, and who the world is. Without the three main studies of history, the world would be a missing puzzle piece. Global history; the understanding of how the world’s history has shaped the world today. At the University of Wisconsin…
Historians use different formats to describe events in history. Some historians use videos to portray certain events while others use books to put their thoughts and opinions out to readers. In Custer on Canvas: Representing Indians, Memory and Violence in the New West by Norman K. Denzin, Denzin uses performance ethnography to tell the story of the events surrounding Custer’s Last Stand. Using this format was very ingenuous as it showed the many different sides to Custer’s battle. Presenting…
role popular culture plays in its history. The background surrounding the Kent State Shootings needs to be explained and uncovered in a variety of ways. The reader must be able to understand the zeitgeist of the 1970s, the culture of Kent State University, what happened to spark the Kent State shootings, how popular culture internalized the shooting through various mediums and then generated a collective memory, and how popular culture has affected the history of the Kent State shooting.…
One of the hardest things to do as a history teacher, especially at the high school level, is to get students to understand what it means to be “doing history.” It isn’t just to have facts and dates thrown at you to parrot back, but to come up with an understanding of what the people of that time were thinking and doing and why the document that is being analyzed even exists and what it did for this country, if not the world. In the books Historical Thinking and other Unnatural Acts: Charting…
I wanted to branch out further and find a really cool historical place than just a museum. And so I found a very remarkable place called “Old Orlando Railroad Depot.” The Orlando Railroad Depot was built in 1890, and is one of Orlando’s earliest history. The construction of the Orlando Depot started in 1887 which continued for about 2 years. It was finished in 1890 on January 14. And In fact a place where tourist people go to take pictures and explore the train. I arrived near the Orlando…
