Guys,
What is your opinion on what's the purpose of "History"?
Me personally.
History is not something you are supposed to blindly trust.
Simply because a story has many characters involved who might have different accounts of what happened. Also, we have to consider that bad people are not going to report their bad doings openly. They most likely will lie or not even report what happened. If a piece of history is damaging to powerful institutional forces.
They will use that power to alter the events of what happened.
History for me is something you are supposed to take into account. Use what you have learned from it to become wiser about the decisions you make in the future.
Thoughts?
I guess one point is division. It's seen in here still when peeps who apparently know our society is full of liars blantingly still accept what they want (eg post about the British statement about Africians). Its not like the British tried dominating the world .... I mean of course they have to make out everyone but themselves are the bad guys so their peeps dont feel bad for dominating the world.
