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.

What is history? I have written a thesis statement of this question for my ap class. Is it a good statement?
Q. "What is history? Can history be changed? Is there a difference between history and the past? How do you learn about history? What makes something a good piece of history? What role does a bias play in recording of the past?' That is the topic I am writing the essay on. It doesnt have to be long but I need to touch ever subject. Would a good thesis statement be the definition of history? Or something else. And should I just write a paragraph answering each question?

What effect does unknown history have on people today?
Q. I have always been taught. If you don't know where you came from you can't know where your going. As Black people in America, our history is lost. As far as our ancestors and family structure due to slavery. And what is taught in schools of our past is in passing and highly inaccurate. how can we hope to uplift the race without the sense of history of so many other cultures in the US? sure... lets concentrate on grammer, and not the larger issue at hand. yep, grammer is what's important here.lol

  • The end of history is, alas, also the end of the dustbins of history. There are no longer any dustbins for disposing of old ideologies, old regimes, old values. Where are we going to throw Marxism, which actually invented the dustbins of history? (Yet there is some justice here since the very people who invented them have fallen in.) Conclusion: if there are no more dustbins of history, this is because History itself has become a dustbin. It has become its own dustbin, just as the planet itself is becoming its own dustbin.
  • Papa Hegel he say that all we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history. I know people who can't even learn from what happened this morning. Hegel must have been taking the long view.
  • Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum.
