Social history

If I have learned anything about history, it is that not everyone has the pleasure of knowing their story or past glory. Archived memories and experiences create scenes of the past that we can feel and relive if told in the right light. Family is an important treasure that only some get the privilege of cherishing; blood or bond, family is what holds us when the world lets us go. Going back to the day my grandmother was born, it began the lives of the people I know and love today and has shaped…

there is still one moment that remains more special than others. It's been five years since I took AP European History with Mr. Hanna, but it still stands out as one of the best classes I have ever taken. Given that five years later I find myself as a Government major it may sound a bit obvious why I would like such a class. Yet, the best part wasn't what he taught, but how he taught it. History is notorious for being a "downer", and although I've always thought otherwise, it's fair to say that…

Santa Fe Indian Market: A History of Native Arts and the Marketplace Bruce Bernstein allows readers to learn the history of Southwestern native artists and the marketplace that constructs the Santa Fe Indian Market. Many thought the market would preserve Native American cultures; some thought it would be the demise of Native cultures . The Santa Fe Market has not always been a widely known established place, but over decades it came to its present-day prestige. Bernstein writes from the early…

Reflecting on history always leads a historian to reflect on past experiences in a particular way. When William Apess gave his speech “Eulogy on King Philip” in 1836, the Pequot Indian presented a group of New Englanders with evidence of the group’s own betrayal of the Indian people at a time when, elsewhere in the country, Andrew Jackson and his government brutally expelled thousands of Cherokees and other tribes from their homelands. Apess needed to remind these white Americans of their…

1. What is the title of the text and what is the text about? The title is “Playing after Kennedy assassination tough chore for players in 1963” By Philadelphia Inquirer (Philadelphia, PA), September 12, 200. The text is about the decision of postponing games after crises and tough events. The text starts the game between Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins, which took place just two days after president Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. The Eagles team president refused to be…

in different time and space felt happy or knew that their time period was good or not. In my opinion, we cannot decrease the historical event’s historiography at an individual level. Some would like, and some would not. The historiography of world history focus on the historians’ interpretations that should be logic and reflect the truth of the time period. For example, let’s just go back to WW II while the Nazis were killing the Jews. If you ask a pure Nazi about his/her time period till the…

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 it into one, leaving gaps in between the story. In relation, histories are…

considered myself a history buff, nor do I tend to indulge myself in any sort of history in my spare time. Like many others, I took this course, Role Playing American History, in order to fulfill a general education requirement, and my counselor said she has heard this course is pretty entertaining. However, I found myself truly enjoying this course for many reasons beyond being able to argue with my classmates. This course truly did help me to better learn about American history for several…

Why do Wilson, Said, and Acuna emphasize history and culture? These essays emphasize history and culture because those two topics tend to get lost, twisted, changed and neglected throughout time. In history when reading about an important event, most likely the story is one sided; because those who are victorious get to tell the tale. Throughout many young people's experiences, when learning about other cultures in school the specific section is either limited and just goes over how they…

As more and more evidence surfaces, more artifacts are being dug up. Most people believe that artifacts should not be dug up. Why? You might ask. A lot of people are started to fight against the relocation of artifacts, (ex) If an artifact was found in Rome, and it was taken to a U.S Museum. This would first of all, defeat the main purpose of traveling, to see the artifacts that belong to the country/state. In other words artifacts look more natural in its original place, instead of a Museum.…
