History

[Aubrey 10]

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Considering how little my fellow U.S. citizens tend to know about history (especially outside the U.S.), it explains a lot of the last 100 years here (wars, lack of voter turnout, etc.). It has not been a priority to teach history/geography or social sciences in general within our schools.

History is a fluid thing, as it is generally taught with an agenda. What makes a more interesting study is Humanities as a whole, where you look at the product of the era in question, the art, the architecture, the literature, the correspondence, and the dialectics of the actual actors, to better understand the times, not just names and dates.

The way history is taught in schools today, as in much of the last century, has little to do with reality, but more to push a Progressive agenda. Thank God for Gutenberg, for not only did his invention spur a Reformation of Religion, it also allows the serious student to examine the actual works of the time.

Too bad the Internet is so limited in that respect, as it mostly covers the the last decade at best, but it is improving. The fact that ideas can propagate freely through cyberspace, despite the whinings of the left, pleases me to no end.
