Political history

When I was growing up, I was taught and motivated to understand the concepts of education and explore the endless possibilities that are offered through it. In the same way, I have been motivated to learn about the history of the world as it provides me a better image and understanding of a culture, a town, and in some cases, an individual. Also, I always wanted – in fact very badly wished – to travel the world, do something for the greater good, be someone more than a girl who comes from a…

Starting with simple cave drawings, art has been around since the beginning of man, and will still be around for the end. Throughout history, there has been numerous art movements that have shaped mankind for who we are today. Even without thinking about it, we are influenced by art everyday. Without it, there would be no movies, comics, or even colorful packaging on simple everyday items such as cereal boxes. Life would be bland. Most people don't realize how important art is, or how many…

On December 30, 2017 at 10:00 am, Madi Barker (and her mom) took a miniature field trip to the Autry Museum to fulfill her history class extra credit assignment. While she was there, she explored just about every exhibition offered, including La Raza, California Continued, Play!, and Art of the West.

Historical Analysis Herodotus The Histories (excerpts) The Histories is written by Herodotus, a Greek from Halicarnassus, who traveled as a refugee and decided to work on history (Thomas R.

It discusses what Herodotus learned about from first hand seeing, and from conversations he had with people who lived through these times. The…

The Significance of Women The role of women in society has changed a great deal in western society throughout the history of the modern age. However, has it changed for the better? Are there countries in which women are not free to make their own decisions and be independent? What is the state of the modern woman today and how has this position changed throughout the twentieth and now into the twenty first century?

History is the past analyzed and recorded, it is not everything that ever happened or everything that historians have already written about. While the existence of subjectivity in history is not often questioned many philosophers have rejected the possibility of objective historical knowledge. This essay seeks to explain the ways in which history consists of both elements of objectivity and subjectivity. Objectivity refer to the lack of bias. With this being said there is no objective truth…

This book is about 400 year’s history of the relations between European and American indigenous people. Since the book is only 236 pages long, the reading experience is not pleasant but relaxed. After finishing reading, I think I will recommend this book to other people, because it is a really organized book for people who is not familiar with the history of the European and American indigenous people. The primary function of this book is to bring the demonic history to the public and criticism…

connection to the past with artifacts that are visible rather than melted for gold or silver as they did back then. I understand that during the nineteenth century most people cared more about providing for their family rather than retaining a piece of history but we can see how important it is for cultures to have something to revert to when explaining their heritage. Thus the study of pre-conquest archaeology played a tremendous…
