historyDefinition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary (Redirected from History) Jump to: navigation, searchFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. —George Santayana Historia (Allegory of History) By Nikolaos Gysis (1892)History (from Greek ἱστορία - historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation") is the study of the human past. 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 sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events. Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present. 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. Events of the past prior to written record are considered prehistory. The title page to The Historians' History of the WorldFrom Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License When in rock history where you could start your rock career? Q. If I can choose which era in rock history so that I could start my rock career, I would have belonged in the British Invasion period of the 1960s when bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who gained popularity. Being the John Lennon/Mick Jagger/Roger Daltrey type of leader of the group, I would shape rock history with concept albums, psychedelia, and rebellious music. What about you? When in rock history where you could start your rock career? Why? Asked by Erik G - Wed May 27 16:39:21 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. London in the mid - late 1960s. Why? Because that's where and when some of my favourite bands got started. Also, the way in which you could get into the music industry back then ~ you played lots of little bars and clubs, worked your way around, and no one batted an eyelid if you shuffled the band around a bit as you went. And because I've always had a bit of a 'thing' about the 1960s, especially for the music scene :) Answered by Lady Silver Rose * Wolf - Wed May 27 18:07:51 2009 History of the Native Americans in North America during the bronze age through the midieval period? Q. Do we know any of the history of the native americans in North America during the bronze age through the midieval period. If so what terms should I use to search with to learn more about it? 10 points best answer. Yeah I have heard about the piramids and the large house like structures but I can't remember where in North America it was. Asked by jack - Thu Jan 10 03:43:10 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. There was no Bronze Age or Medieval period in north America. The natives went straight from a stone age culture to the modern period. Bronze age, Iron Age, Roman, Saxon and Viking, Medieval are all periods of European history and can not be applied to the Americas. The fact is that although the whole of North and South America retained neolithic culture until white contact, certain native cultures also evolved rudimentary metalworking techniques. This ranged from the very crude use of native copper in the Great Lakes and Central America regions to casting gold and other metals in central and South America. This is still part of a Stone Age technology, however. Answered by Brother Ranulf - Thu Jan 10 04:42:47 2008 How would White History Month differ from any other month in history class?
Q. To those that think we need a White History month, how would this differ at all from the 90 percent or so of white people that make up the american history books? Imagine this scene: Teacher: Okay, class. For White History month, we will take some time out to study people we don't normally cover in history lessons. This month, instead of studying George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, FDR and JFK, we're going to be studying George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, FDR and JFK. Asked by Searching - Tue Jul 14 03:21:25 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. I love this!!! In most schools, you'd think Martin Luther King was the only black person that had anything important to say. You can't suppress a whole race's history and not expect them to do something about it! Most people that complain about black history month don't change their lives a single bit during it...sooo what's the problem!?! Also, I think society likes to forget that blacks contributed A LOT to this nation.
