Scholars who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it often attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events. Historians debate the nature of history and the lessons history teaches. A famous quote by George Santayana has it that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history.

GNU Free Documentation License How much does your history class really teach you about history? Q. I mean general history, not just American history. From what I've heard you don't really get taught a lot about other histories, like French, Indian, Canadian, etc., unless it comes to play a part of American history. Like I'm sure when learning about the 2 world wars, you'll hear a bit about German history, eh? But what about besides that? You don't learn anything else about German history, do you? I already do my own studying, but I think schools should start to teach kids about more than just American history in history class. Otherwise it's not really living up to its name, now is it? Personally I would like it if in order to pass history class, you had to learn about American history, and also another foreign history of your choice.… [cont.] Asked by Twilight - Thu Aug 28 15:01:52 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Personally I don't think kids get taught enough history period, there's a huge percentage of American kids who don't know when World War II was or what the Great Depression was all about. Our problem was pretty much the opposite, when we were in school they taught us multiculturalism and all histories except American history. I don't want to sound like a patriotic stooge, but I just found it interesting there was a district out there that was the opposite. But you are right, kids need foreign history as well otherwise they won't grow up very knowledgeably about the world out there (and we aren't very isolated anymore). Perhaps a general world history course would bring about samples of cultural histories from across the world to at least… [cont.] Answered by Boboftheplains - Sat Aug 30 01:28:40 2008 How did Jesus effect the history of the Roman Civilization? Q. The actual question is "How did a historical person affect the history of his/her civilization?" This is for ancient history class and I chose Jesus. Any ideas? Asked by Catria - Thu Jun 18 20:05:53 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hello, Certainly not adversely as some think. The Western Empire lasted another 400 years and the Eastern Empire 1400 years. Don't forget the Republic itself fell 50 years before the birth of Christ. No other Empire in history has lastes as long a Rome.

Q. Is there a way I can see what someone deleted from the history? How can I see the history? Asked by Gina - Mon Jun 22 11:16:45 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Gina, There is recovery software available to retrieve deleted items. You can buy this software at any computer software store. The police use more thorough applications, but companies like Norton make recovery possible on your computer. You cannot recover items that were "scrubbed" or overwritten, so the sooner you look for the items the better.
