Most historians would question where the things we humans cherished so deeply come from. As historians it’s their job to answer or try to answer these questions.

How these characters intersected would change history. I did thoroughly enjoy the historical portion of this book and thought it was an enjoyable way to learn. My difficulty with the book, is that the author tends to associate the characters to be either good or bad. In my point of view, life is…

We all love American history but history class is the most hated subject taught in school. “Just memorize the notes, and you’ll be fine on the test,” said every history teacher I have ever had in my schooling. What do we really learn and reflect on from history class? Is it the teacher who can not teach or is the textbook that makes it boring? In “Lies My Teacher Told Me” by James Loewen, he criticizes how textbooks distort American History in a way that corresponds with the mindset of rich…

According to the article found at http://www.thepeoplesview.net (2011), the formation of history is not easy. In human existence, great men and women have contributed to history formation. It goes beyond human self to cause a revolution. Historically, we have seen works of Du Bois, Malcolm X, Shakespeare, and Da Vinci. There revolution came after making great choices. In this paper, I have chosen to evaluate Barrack Obama's choice to run for the presidency (http://www.thepeoplesview.net, 2011)…
