Re: Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.

@ Hege's post~ But you two are quite in love with history, you can get along well.

I have my hands on Inheritance e-book, though I'm not sure if it's the one indeed.

Muahaha... At least he can provide me with many useful pieces of history. I'm not sure he wants to know Indonesia's history though.

I have my hands on Inheritance e-book too since yesterday and I know it's the right one. The problem is I don't have the time to read it. I have this bad feeling that I can only read it next month.

Re: Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.

History is...
history is...?!

History is a Weapon -

History isn't what happened, but a story of what happened. And there are always different versions, different stories, about the same events. One version might revolve mainly around a specific set of facts while another version might minimize them or not include them at all.
Like stories, each of these different versions of history contain different lessons. Some histories tell us that our leaders, at least, have always tried to do right for everyone. Others remark that the emperors don't have the slaves' best interests at heart. Some teach us that this is both what has always been and what always will be. Others counsel that we shouldn't mistake transient dominance for intrinsic superiority. Lastly, some histories paint a picture where only the elites have the power to change the world, while others point out that social change is rarely commanded from the top down.

Regardless of the value of these many lessons, History isn't what happened, but the stories of what happened and the lessons these stories include. The very selection of which histories to teach in a society shapes our view of how what is came to be and, in turn, what we understand as possible. This choice of which history to teach can never be "neutral" or "objective." Those who choose, either following a set agenda or guided by hidden prejudices, serve their interests. Their interests could be to continue this world as it now stands or to make a new world.
We cannot simply be passive. We must choose whose interests are best: those who want to keep things going as they are or those who want to work to make a better world. If we choose the latter, we must seek out the tools we will need. History is just one tool to shape our understanding of our world. And every tool is a weapon if you hold it right.

History was my favourite subject back in school thought about teaching it but well, decided in favouring something else.

well yearbook is coming soon in a large place like MH it's very difficult to keep track of all the things happening. Would be damn lots of work.

Anyway, I may really like history but that doesn't mean I didn't paste and copy the text

Re: Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.

I had an awesome idea for the yearbook but I totally forgot to mention it at the right time. =/


It's niichan. Off course he copy and pasted it.

Re: Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.

Enlighten me, historian-sama

I cannot give you any high-quality answer like what narutonii-chan gave you because right now my head is too dizzy to even think of an answer... What he said is true and detailed enough.
But practically, I learn (any kind of) history because I want to learn from people's experiences and mistakes. How to solve problem, not to make the same mistake and so on... I particularly learn world history because I am quite fascinated with past cultures and how the world changes throughout the years. Stories are actually a part of history, you know, that's why narratives are written in past tenses. Actually what made me fall in love with history at first were stories, legends and myths.

Which emperor is it? I have heard too many of Chinese emperors until I don't which one is which... You gotta mention what was his contribution....

Re: Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.

The Great Wall Of China!
And the killing of millions. Yep.

Great reason yuki, I got to learn about one of your good points now

What do you give up history for?

Becoming an educator for 1-28 years old I would consider teaching history later on though, who knows~

Who makes the yearbook anyway?

See? Half of me was right.

all staff members

yeah both your half sides were formidable
