History is a composition of past events. It is real and honest. However, the materials used by historians (which are called sources) to study history are only records of history, so they need not to be absolutely true and unbiased. If a group of scholars were to evaluate a set of clues surrounding a play, they would mainly use texts and written records of the play and all these evidences are considered sources which therefore need to be carefully examined before put into use. To these scholars,…
After having taken History 2700, I’d like to say that I will be a much more informed and better American citizen because of it. I have always loved history and so many of the things in this course were not too shocking for me, that being said, I still feel as if I learned several things. I enjoyed that this class focused less on dates and names and more on the significance, meaning, and later results of the historical events discussed. One area of history I knew very little about was the vast…

For instance thanksgiving should be taught in a way that is not lying but is relatively censored, i.e.; not including the slaughter. When it came…
Sciences is to answer whether the philosophy of history can provide knowledge of socio-historical reality as a whole. The philosophy of history is a theory that attempts to know the interconnectedness of historical reality through a correspondence with the unity of interconnected propositions (Dilthey, pg. 142).

American history is what occurred in the past that has led to changes, growth and helps explain why today’s America is the way it is. Equality has been a consistent American struggle through history from before the Civil War to today. Equality is the right of different groups of people to receive the same treatment no matter how diverse the people(Merriam Webster). The meaning of equality in America has changed through the years based off of the rights that were accepted as society has grown.…
The Histories Study Guide: Day 2 Motivations Behind The Histories Herodotus was primarily interested in describing the “known world”.

This paper will provide my personal philosophy of education, methods that can be used to impact a new age American history class as well as provide evidence to support the uses of my philosophy teaching methods in my American History…
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…
