Past

searching to tell history as it happened, and not the way other view it. Other historians interpret, view, and translate history in all kinds of different ways and that shows through in their writings and paintings of history. This could possibly skew the past making it hard to determine between what actually happened and what people claim happened. Davy Crockett and the Alamo are a very important parts of Texas history, but their cultural meaning is not as similar to what Crisp discovers. Crisp…

ASU150 has taught me that the past has no power over the present moment. The most important concepts I absorbed this semester include the power and importance of ones growth mindset, ones approach to S.T.E.P, and the significance of a balanced life. Easily one of my favorite quotes from Gina this year has to be “Do not hold onto thoughts that do not allow your mind to move forward.” I feel this quote is essential to the class because so much of our lives are created in what we think at this very…

For example, many people in love credit their intuition as the reason for their success. One person knew that they needed to talk to a particular person, so they did. They didn't question why they should talk to that person, they just knew they had to and followed their gut feeling. For most people, they ended up talking to the person that they would be with for the rest of their life. For others, they talked to someone who knew the person they would be with for the rest of their lives. The…

altered. Although something may have happened yesterday, today, it is now considered historic. The irony here is that whether it happened a few hours ago, yesterday, last week, or many years ago, it is still considered historic because it is now in the past. As stated by Dr. Drake in many lectures, “history does not necessarily repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” From 1865 to the 2000s, different areas of history have a stronger rhyming scheme than others. Looking back to 1860s and comparing it…

aspects that are recalled remotely but are not being experienced by the client in the present time. Perls’ Gestalt model is attempting to do the same, bringing the client to experience the conflict in the present and any attempt to ‘escape’ to the past or future is seen as resistance. However, in stark contrast with client centered therapy,…

Past events are considered historical if they are meaningful and made an impact on the country. Every person has their own perspective on historical events. These personal perceptions are formed by a number of circumstances and can change through their life. Historical events can have various impacts on people depending where they lived in the country, and when an event took place. So much historical knowledge can be gained through hearing someone discuss events they were alive to experience.…

1). For the simple reason that what he brought to my attention was utterly shocking. I like many other students have never seen Christopher Columbus as nothing but a hero of the past, a courageous sailor that discovered the “New World”. Without his advances and discoveries we wouldn't be where we are today. Not once did I question what those “advances” really were. To top it off, the fact that historians knew about his motives…

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…

are presented through the progression of Grenouille as a murderer. Süskind places emphasis on time and change through the use of foreshadowing. Conversely in ‘The turning’ Winton places importance on time and change by having characters compare their past with their future. Winton uses this technique to allow characters to juxtapose the life they once had with the life they live now. Unlike Winton, Süskind uses foreshadowing to emphasis the importance of time and change. Foreshadowing occurs…

events, it seems to be that these events are told from the viewpoint of one single party. History is a story made from bits of the past, stories that are built on narratives. For example history books, these books are a reconstructed version of the past for the present. The past is what is made up of events, events that have happened before now and history. But in all the past is gone and only exist in our reconstructions of it. That is when history comes into play, it takes the events and makes…
