There are multiple beautiful monuments around the world that all represent different people or events in time who may or may not be historical. Although to the people who view the monuments only see the final product the group of people who chose to put it there see all the factors that go into creating that monument and putting it in just the right spot so the person or event can be remembered in a peaceful and respectful environment. When a group or agency is trying to memorialize an event or…

“Tradition is the illusion of permanence” (Woody Allen). Tradition by definition is an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (such as a religious practice or a social custom) (Merriam-Webster). They are unwritten beliefs and duties that are passed on from generation to generation, and most of the time, they cannot be interpreted in a logical way. Traditions become a big part of individuals’ routine that they become very accustomed to. As a result, followers…

A region of losses and mistakes, but a site for elation and inspiration, history holds the many profound stories of the past. Historians and enthusiasts alike have placed tremendous efforts into constructing an accurate timeline of the past, but most efforts have gone unsuccessful—the biased nature of the recording of history has painted many false images. Often favoring the victors, the past has been represented in a very linear fashion, leaving out the intricate complexities of former…

audience, but also a great example as to why students should learn about capitals, states, and countries they are unfamiliar with. This work as a whole is satire, aimed towards mocking students’ lack of effort towards their school work specifically in history. Locations of wars should not be altered; students should be taught about these foreign countries and not just “Germany and England” because they are “places [students] have heard of” (SatireWire.com). Students argued that wars should be in…

While Foucault identifies history with the past and the documents containing such information, Taylor (n.d) identifies history as a field correlated to the trauma that forms part of human existence. According to Taylor (n.d) history is part of human existence and it should be referenced according to the events that took part in the past years. This means that it should never be separated in terms of durations of discontinuities, but it should rather form part of the existence. Unlike Foucault…

World history as a professional disciple has been fluid. From the time when world history became a disciple until modern day, there is not one uniform consensus on how historians should look at the past. The modern historians Jerry Bentley, Ross Dunn, and Peter Stearns all add to the world history conversation by taking what world history had been and attempting to improve how students and historians view world history. While all three historians take a different piece of the world history…

The purpose of ancient Greek History during the time of Herodotus and Thucydides was a period of developing methods for the study of the past, documentation of wars, and creating historical and entertaining stories for the people. It was the time of initial inquiry of developing an understanding of the beginning of the story as well as the methods to gain this information. Roman historians of Polybius, Titus Livius Patavinus, Publius Tacitus, benefited from the previous establishment of…

Rewind thousands of years to when those historical events were history in the making, they all started somewhere. Someone spoke up or took a stand, and an idea was born. I feel like you should be proud of what you stand for. If you don’t have faith in something then why would anyone else want to put their faith into…

world is enlightened, brilliant, and explicit because of history. It helps me understand who I am and allows me to never forget my roots. I have always had an interest in history simply because an understanding of the past helps us distinguish the present and prepare us for the future. Although there are many types of history, my interest in particular is the history of the United States of America. It is fascinating that our nation’s history started by our forefather’s exploration of a new…
