1) "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." -Confucius
ReplyDeleteI think this means that whenever something bad happens to a person, we learn to deal with it and get past it. I chose it because this is something I too live by, because whenever I get into trouble, I deal with it, then I get past and don't let it keep me sad.
2)What I like about history is that it keeps everything that was important in the world recorded and people learn about it.
-Luciano Cardoza (Period 6)
"History is a vast early warning system" -Norman Cousins
ReplyDeleteI think that this quote by Norman Cousin is trying to say that history is what not to do in the future. It means that whatever happened in the past, we shouldn't do it in the future. I like history because it is like reading a book, and you learn something new about the past.
I don't like reading books and I like learning new things about the past
DeleteI agree, it's like the quote is saying that you learn from the past/history so that you don't do it again in the future like a "warning system"
DeleteI agree I think that history is a warning sign to inform or make you aware that certain things have already been done. Which would make it a better future by learning the past and to be able to improve or advance on certain things.
DeleteI agree with you Anisa! History is a warning to us people in the future. to bad many people forget those warnings....
DeleteI agree with Anisa also, history is what determines a future. And most of the time people don't realize that.
Delete"History will be kind to me for i intend to write it." -Winston Churchill.
ReplyDeleteThis quote means that history is what you make it. If you do good for the world then the world will do good for you. If we do good trying to fix the problems like the economy for example it will keep getting better as history goes on. I like this quote because it's short but has a lot of meaning behind it. I like history because you can always improve it with the right decisions i like that we can give our children and grand children a better world by the decisions we make now but what i don't like about history is that we haven't been making the best decisions and now it has really affected our world. I like Anisa's comment on how history is like reading a book, when i read this i thought of all the history textbooks i have studied from in my life.
-Lia Woychowski (period 6)
Winston Churchill was an interesting guy. One quote that I like is "Victory is written by the winners". Winston Churchill was actually referring to that quote when he said what he said. He was saying that history is going to say good thing about him because he is literally going to write the history that others would be reading about. So obviously he would make himself sound amazing in his books.
DeleteOur greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.-Confucius
ReplyDeleteThis quote means that your great because you lose at something you always try to find something to bring you back up.
What I like about history is that it could be very interesting it could new things that are really cool that you didn't know that could be really fascinating. What I don't like us that it can be really boring.
I agree with how you interpreted the quote and what you like about history.
DeleteI like how you explained the quote… and i agree with that history can be interesting
Delete1)"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it"
ReplyDeleteI think this means that Winston Churchill will write his version of historical events as he sees it. His side of the story might be the better version of the event.
2)There are numerous events of history that bore me, like learning about the war of 1812. Constantly reviewing the 9/11 tragedy. However, I find world war 2 interesting as well as the prohibition era in history.
STROKE!
DeleteI agree with your response because i think it was a good interpretation of the quote.
DeleteNato, I'm glad you agree with the response but try to be more specific in your answers
DeleteI like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
ReplyDelete- I think this quotes means that everyone wants to forget about the bad that happened in the past and look forward to whats coming for them in the future.
- What i like about history is that you can find out a lot of things you never knew about that happened way before even your parents were born and happen to be interesting.
I agree with the quote also. The future is always better to look forward to because you never know whats going to happen.
DeleteI agree with you Alyssa, sometimes in history the bad can stand out more than the good.
DeleteI agree Alyssa, the good always stands out much more than the good.
Delete"History never looks like history when you are living through it." -John W. Gardner This quote means basically that every moment is history except when it's happening. The present always turns into the history. I liked this quote because it makes you think and really plays with your mind. It makes you think how the present is going to turn into the past. And because of that you wanna make sure that you don't take time for granted because soon it'll be over.
ReplyDelete- Paula Mantilla.
I agree that every moment is history. Usually when people think history they think maybe back 100-200 years. Even the things that happen every day that seem insignificant are considered history, but usually we think of history as the major events that had an impact on many people's lives.
DeleteOh oh and I don't like history because you need to remember it and i have a horrible memory. so i forget things alot
ReplyDelete"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
ReplyDeleteGeorge Santayana
The quote "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." by George Santayana is basically just relaying the fact that people who are ignorant to history will often make the same mistakes that have previously occurred. The reason for this is because if someone is aware of errors that were made in the past they can use that to their advantage by identifying the causes from that mistake and learning from it, However if they are completely oblivious to events that took place and situations that have previously occurred it makes them ignorant leaving the with great potential to repeat previous errors . One thing i like about history is that we are able to learn so much from other peoples actions. It is also really interesting how certain events led to other major situations that impacted history in various ways.
I like the quote you used Caroline, in part it is similar to mine. It is indeed the ignorance of man that leads to the common errors of our history. Man will forever repeat their errors, only the names, the people, and the weapons used will ever change.
DeleteHistory is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.
ReplyDelete-Napoleon Bonaparte
I think this quote means that history is only something that we depend on other people to agree upon. We never really know whether it's actually true or not because we weren't there to see for ourselves. I like this quote because I never actually thought about where we're getting the "historical facts" from. What I don't like about history is the amount of things you have to remember such as dates and important events because it's hard for me to remember all of it.
"History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future.to try to hold fast is to be swept aside"
ReplyDeleteJohn F. Kennedy
This Quote by John F Kennedy means that history is very persistent, and constant. there is always something new that can be discovered where history is concerned, and something in the future can reveal the past. If you overlook many things and give up on history, you will be swept aside and not be able to find what you are looking for.
i do agree that something new is created all the time i think jfk is talking about being old fashion or sticking to the past can lead you from being seperated to the "modern" or "new" age.
Delete1) “I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.” This quote means that what people what to see happen in the future is more important than what has already happened. I like this quote because it relates to what I feel about history. The past for me isn’t really important, what people plan to do in the future matters to me more.
ReplyDelete2) The one thing I like about history is learning about the people who fought for the things they wanted. Such as rights that were taken from them or that they think they deserve.
"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation"
ReplyDelete-Robert Kennedy
I have interpreted Robert Kennedy's quote as: although we cannot go back and change history, we can start now and create new history.This quote is my favorite because when most people think of history they think of events that happened 50 years ago and beyond. Many people (including myself) don't think of modern events in the past year or two that will be written into textbooks for future generations. History is not intangible. It is created everyday, and we live through it.
What I don't like about history is that it can be twisted through point of view and people from different parts of the world are going to believe in different ideas from the same event because of what they've been taught in a textbook. What one nation teaches about a war can be very one-sided and can be the complete opposite of what the opposing country decides to put in the textbooks. What I like about history is being able to look back on what made us who we are today. The inventions, the wars, the power struggles. It's also interesting to look back and think "what if". What if there was no american revolution? Where would we all be today?
I agree with your view on history, and loved how you interpreted the quote.
DeleteWhen history is erased, people's moral values are also erased.- Ma Jian
ReplyDeleteWhether it is US History or Global History, us students always learn of the mistakes made in the past by people in history. Moral Values are like people's personal principles based on laws or religion. This quote is explaining that without mistakes or failures there would be no lesson to live by. moral values are meant to prevent or avoid mistakes or failures to committed.i found a interest in this quote because i have a lot of regrets and i feel like the only way to make me feel better about my past is to look at how it effected the way i am and think today. i like history because there are a lot of shocking and actually humorous things i learn about events or people and it makes think of history as a funny thing. i do not like when history is used as a weapon meaning that it is sometimes used a a reason to start a war or conflict interest.
I like that you related moral values to religion.
DeleteOne of the main reasons why I think history is one of the most important subjects students can learn is because you can learn all about the mistakes of the past and try your hardest not to make those same mistakes
DeleteObserve good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Washington
George Washington's quote captured my attention because i think that this is something that the world needs to work on and develop. The world seems to be surrounded by negativity and war, and i think that we need to change that by "cultivating peace and harmony with all."
I like learning certain topics in history because i can learn more about the world i am in, and be more aware of the major events,
Natalie I agree because if want to make peace with the world we would have to get to know them better and in my opinion history is a great source to learn about the world beside cultural exchange but good job analyzing and interpreting the quote
Delete"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
ReplyDeleteGeorge Santayana
This quote is describing how history repeats itself naturally because of people forgetting. For example history repeated it self by having not one but two World Wars. I really like this quote because I believe its really true because when you forget we don't remember the consequences either so we repeat our past with thinking of the consequences. I also dislike the quote because that doesn't always happen usually if it was a big thing we remember what is so bad.
i agree with luci because if you don't learn from your mistakes after you fail you will do that same mistake over and over again and just keep failing.
DeleteA people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
ReplyDeleteMarcus Garvey
This quote means that if you do not know where you come from and how it came to be you cannot grow and prosper. I like this quote because I believe its important to know your own history.
What I like about history is that i can relate to many things that have happened and I can learn how somethings have came to be. Also what i like about history is that teaches us how to solve today's problems that are similar to what has already happened.
-Amir Shallit
1. A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood. -George S. Patton
ReplyDeleteThe reason i like this quote is because it symbolizes that a certain amount of hard work can save a numerous amount of lives. The U.S has always fought hard and will continue to remain a strong Nation.
2. I like the war parts of history because its what i find most interest in learning. To me it is whats stands out the most out of all the history there is.
Although the war parts of history definitely are interesting, I think the most important lessons from those wars should be about how NOT to go to war in the future.
Delete1."Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall" by Confucius. This quote is saying that it takes glory in never fall, but it takes more strength and glory and determination to rise again. I really like this quote cause its basically saying to never give up and stay strong.
ReplyDelete2.What i like about history is that i get to know many things about the past whether its about the United States or other countries of the world, i get to know how this world i live in now got shaped the way it is
1."History will be kind to me for I intend to write it." The reason I liked and picked this quote is because only I will be able to control what happens to me in the future.
ReplyDelete2.What I like about history is that you not only read about what happened while you've been alive, but what happened in the past.
I agree by doing certain things in the present it affect everything about u in the future.
Delete1. My favorite quote would have to be "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." -Confucius. I like this quote because I can relate to it a lot. It means that if you have it easy and win all the time, you'll never learn any lessons or be stronger.
ReplyDelete2. I like that some things in history are pretty interesting and fun to learn about, but it's also pretty pointless that we need to spend so much time learning about things from the past and people that are already dead because chances are, that won't affect us now.
I really like your quote and your meaning. I kinda agree with you, but we need to learn what happened back then so it doesn't happen again.
DeleteOur greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
ReplyDeleteConfucius
This quote is stating that now matter how hard we have fallen in various events in history, they have only made us that much stronger in the end. For example the 9/11 incident had been a huge tragedy, but it had strengthened our procedures make sure this didn't happen again. These huge pieces of history can cause a temporary fall, but in the end brings out something great to rise.
I like learning about events that have effected how I live my life today.
Emily, I agree with you're statement because I feel like we have become stronger from good and bad events in history which have only benefited us
Delete"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about history is that it is like a manual of success because history shows the failures and what to avoid that leads to failure.
"Those who don't know history are domed to repeat it". I know we have all herd this quote at least once. But I still like the meaning, if you don't know mistakes made in the past you will repeat them. We must learn from previous mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Matthew 100% because it is true, if you don't reconsider your decisions and think about your past you will continue to make the same mistakes.
Delete"History never looks like history when you are living through it."
ReplyDeleteJohn W. Gardner
This quote means that anything can be history. When a special event happens, it won't feel like history, it will feel like any other day. I don't like that history involves a lot of memorization, and also that history is very detailed and you have to know almost every detail.
"We are not makers of history. We are made by history."
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King, Jr.
- This quote means that we don't make the past but, we are shaped and changed by it. History effects us as people and a society in either a positive or negative way.
- What I like about history is that nothing is ever set in stone when it comes to it. History or the past is always changing as we find out more information and new developments.
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." -Confucius
ReplyDeleteWhat this quote means to me is that glory is not found in the negative event that happened in history but from the way we Dealt with the situation. For example On 9/11 the glory was not the terrorists attack but how the United States came together as one to mourn and rebuild From this great tragedy . Rising every time we fall .
"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it. "
ReplyDeleteWhat this quote means is that if you aren't aware of what’s happening around you and or what has happened previously you are in risk of repeating tragedies. The more you know about history the more knowledge you will have about peoples previous mistake’s. I like and dislike history due to the fact that its interesting and engaging and on the other side I dislike it because there is so much to remember
"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." -George Washington Carver
ReplyDeleteThis quote means that when something that is simple is done in a way that no one ever thought of before everyone pays more attention to it to witness the event or learn more about it.So since its focused on by many its deemed as highly important and remembered for a long time.I like this quote because I feel that this can be related to many important events that occurred in history.What I like about history is how you can go back and see how other civilizations lived.Also how they died out or changed throughout time.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
ReplyDeleteConfucius
To me this quote means that the shining points in the history of the world are not all the problems and obstacles we faced however it is how each part of the world handled them. The true glory comes out in our triumphs after the obstacles not from the obstacles themselves. I't truly rewarding to pick a nation back up after a devastating disaster or dilemma.
I agree with Susie. Our past should set an example for our future, and we should learn from our mistakes from the past and think about how we could change our perspectives in certain situations so that we don't repeat what we did in the past.
Delete"I came, I saw, I conquered -Julius Caesar". The quote by Julius Caesar means that he never gave up and he always got what he wanted. I like this quote because it shows that he was dedicated to get what he wanted. I personally don't like that you have to remember a lot of things in history like dates, important people and a lot of geography.
ReplyDelete- Vanessa Ortega (period 5)
"Those who don't know history are domed to repeat it"
ReplyDeleteThis quote means that if we don't learn from our mistakes in history we will continue to make the same mistakes over and over throughout our future. The reason we study our history and almost everything is documented is for the future citizens to read it and understand what to do differently if they ever come across a similar sitation.
I agree with TK. It's important for us to study history so we don't remake the same mistakes over and over again.
Deletei agree with tk and kayleigh because like they said we should know our history because if we do repeat a mistake that was made it would be disastrous
Delete"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
ReplyDeleteThis quote means that the people who don't learn about history, and study it well will not realize the mistakes that we made in the past, and they will never learn from them. They will probably repeat the mistakes we made rather than learn from them.
Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.
ReplyDelete-Edmund Burke
This quote states how if history isn't taught and people are ignorant of the past, then we are most likely going to repeat the mistakes in the future. Certain events are recorded so that if someone in the future sees the records, then they will most likely learn from mistakes other people made and think about something differently. What I like about history is the certain events that happened over time. I also like how we as a species evolved over time through the use of technology and our environment.
-James Pellegrino
good work =]
Delete"History is more or less bunk." Henry Ford
ReplyDeletewhat this quote means in the words of Henry is he wants to live in the present and not the past. He thinks that what ever history that should be acknowledged is the history we do in the present and not in the past. This is because the things we do now is whats going to help us succeed in the future.
What i dont like about history is having to literally know all of it. I think its really annoying but i try to remember everything because thats what needs to be done in order to like pass and stuff....
"History never looks like history when you are living through it." -John W. Gardner
ReplyDelete-I completely agree with this quote. This quote is saying everything that you do in the present eventually becomes the past whether you realize it or not. I really like this quote because it makes you think that even when you think something that happens isn't important, it's still apart of YOUR history. What I like about history is that people are able to look back on other generations and time periods and learn about their lives. It's so interesting to see the transformation between then and now and how things have drastically changed through the years.
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. By Mahatma Gandhi.This quote means no matter how small a group of people are no matter what as long those group of individuals are determined and believe in what that are fighting for they can change anything.I like this quote because i feel like it applys to me almost everyday.
ReplyDeleteIn history i love the fact that you can learn all about different cultures its like you travel the world without ever leaving the classroom. What i don't like about history is that we never learn about like black history i mean there's a whole month dedicated to it and in school i feel like we don't even acknowledge it.
I agree with lucky(Luciano) when he says
he likes that in history theres a record so that people can learn about events.Eventhough there's lots of younger generations its nice to know that history wont be forgotte.And that the younger people can still learn even if something did not happen during the time were born or grew up.
"Those who don't know history are domed to repeat it" I like this quote because i like the meaning of it, it means that if we didnt know anything about the past, we wouldnt get anywhere in the world we would repeat the past.
ReplyDeleteI dont like DBQ's theyre annoying but i basically like everything else.
"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
ReplyDelete1) I really agree with this quote. I believe this quote is giving out the idea to prevent people from making the same mistakes again, or if not mistakes; keeping people from doing the same things over and over again. Studying history helps us reconsider decisions and believe it or not it will actually help us. Its like when people swear that they will never drink again after a bad experience, but do because they don't think about their history with drinking, and I believe that it is only by studying history that we can recognize this idea.
2) I like history because when we read about history we are preparing for a better future.
"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past" - Thomas Jefferson
ReplyDeleteThis quote intends on expressing that the future is a time of change and development, and should not revolve around negativity. I like this quote because it shows that there is always room for hope and improvement. However, the past does not necessarily have to be negative. In fact, many of the advantages we are accustomed to today, originated during different historical eras of the past. This quote can be contradicting depending on how you look at it, but overall I agree. I like the tone it presents itself with, being a positive and assuring tone.
"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past"-Thomas Jefferson. I think this expresses that Thomas Jefferson favors the dreams and hope that the future holds rather than the mistakes of the past.i like this quote because it shows that the past isn't all good and perfect, that some people look forward to whats ahead than whats behind them. i like history in the sense that I'm learning something new all the time/interesting
ReplyDelete"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Confucius
ReplyDeleteThis quote insists that the greatest achievement is, not never failing, but to have the strength to continue on after you actually do fail. The ability to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and rise stronger after a defeat is the best accomplishment. I liked this quote the most because it suggests that throughout a lifetime, you are guaranteed to fail, but to continue on afterwards is what matters most.
Yaaaass! Lol! I agree with you 100%. And liked the way you interpreted the quote!
Delete"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall" - Confucius
ReplyDeleteThis quote means to never give up and that what ever you try to do it will just keep coming back to you even if you fail. You fail too many times no worries you can still have a chance, and you will always have a chance. Never give up and never let it take you down. I like this quote because it talks about what your goal is and why to not give up on it.
"History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living."
ReplyDeleteLawrence Durrell
1) I totally agreed/ enjoyed this quote because history really is one of the only things where you can go forward and learn from the past mistake, and history is what we make it. Our generation is the next to come and it has to learn form the mistakes made by our current and future leaders. Also what i really liked about this quote is that it really is just saying that as humans we will try and try to make the perfect world and it is our history. Also this quote says that we will never have the perfect world so history, or our pasts is the way not to live and that will continue forever.
2) I like history because it is what we decide to make of it, when we become adults we will be a very small part of a big machine (country) to function, and also that one event can change all history.
"That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history." -- Aldous Huxley
ReplyDelete1) Aldous Huxley's quote means that man will never truly learn from their history, simply put. It is important to accept that a part of our history is to repeat our errors. This quote is very accurate, in my personal opinion, because it is almost impossible to stray from not repeating an error that has occurred in our history a multitude of times before. We can fight the urge, we can persuade others to not do so, but dictators will rise, and empires will indeed fall, it is nature, it is course of human history.
2)To be honest I was not fond of history until last year. The things that interest me the most are the Spartans, along with the ancient Greek city-states, and King Henry VIII of England. I became a bit intrigued with the Renaissance and its 'rebirth' and 'revival' of history, in its own time.
MY ORIGINAL POST WAS 10X BETTER. JUST SAYING.
Jacob! I totally agree with you. I like it when you say that "It is important to accept that a part of our history is to repeat our errors.", because that is totally true, gotta love human nature. Causing war and stuff.
Delete"History will be kind to me for i intend to write it." -Winston Churchill.
ReplyDelete1)What i liked about the quote is that its basically saying you write your own history, the choices you make set the path of your life.
2)
I also liked this quote because like Gabby said, its about writing your own history. You make your own choices and the decisions you make now will determine your tomorrow and therefore become history.

ReplyDelete1)“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. George Santayana. what this quote is saying that people who don’t know history will repeat history. I like this quote because it is true. If u dont know history or rather learn it u will repeat something someone else has done a long time ago. this also works with just your mistakes, if you don't learn from your mistakes you will repeat the same mistake.
ReplyDelete2) I really don't like history because it is a lot of remembering stuff. history is important but it is not my forte.
Will O'Neill
"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past"
ReplyDelete-Thomas Jefferson
To me this means that its better to look ahead then to dwell on the past. I like this quote because this is how I feel all the time. I feel like learning some of the history we learn, pointless!
"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
ReplyDelete-George Santayana
1) This quote basically means if you are clueless as to what has gone on in the past, and the mistakes or shortcomings that were made, as it's said that "great minds think alike", those same shortcomings and mistakes are bound to happen again.
2) I suppose the only enjoyable thing about history is having the benefit to know what has happened in the past, and how that's related to the present and the future, but its really irritating to have to remember everything, sometimes I get the dates or the countries mixed up, even something like the world wars I tend to confuse sometimes. I think remembrance of the past events is definitely an issue with history.
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
ReplyDeleteI think this quote means that everytime you fail at something, you should never give up even if you just feel like falling flat on your face because maybe in time you can never get that chance again and you just let it slip threw your fingers.
"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past"- Thomas Jefferson.
ReplyDeleteTo me, this quote means that thinking about whats going to happen next is better than thinking about what's already happened. If you focus too much on the past then you could miss what's happening and what's going to happen. To hope for what's to come is greater than to dwell on what's already occurred. I like this quote because it's something I believe in. I believe that dreaming of the future is better than the history and the past.
I like and dislike history. I like history because some topics of the past can be kind of interesting but there's also some topics that drag on which I do not like.
"I came, I saw, I conquered."
ReplyDelete- Julius Caesar
To me, this quote is saying that you arrive at a time where you see trouble is heading your way and everything is bashing you at once, but you overcome it because of the determination and ambition you have. Like me of course ... Watch the Prince Conquer. ♔
haha i really loved how you interoperated this in your own words and the way you explained it was great. The best part was the ending jaja :)
Delete"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising everytime we fall."
ReplyDelete-Confucius
This quote is probably one of the quotes I would always like. This quote is basically saying that no matter what happens if you fail at doing something after you try again and put your best effort in it you will feel so great and accomplished you didn't give up on what you wanted to achieve in the first place.
"That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history." -Aldous Huxley
ReplyDeleteI agree with this statement as people who don't remember history are doomed to forever repeat it. We look to history to strive forward, because without it we fall into the same trap.
Oliver Lataste
A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.
ReplyDeleteMargaret Thatcher
This quote means that if the world didn't have the atomic bomb or the nuclear bomb then the world would be more aggressive and have a lot more wars but since we have those weapons people have something to fear which keeps the world stable in a way, I love this quote because its true, years before the discovery of the nuclear bomb wars have been springing up like flowers in the spring and nations wouldn't think twice about going to war but ever since the discovery and mass production of the bomb since world war 2 and throughout the cold war and even today nations around the world have been very hesitant with going to war with bigger nations that posses these weapons of mass destruction.
What i like about history is how it shows the struggle of man throughout time from the very first ancient civilization( ancient sumer) to now.. it shows how man over came his struggles and fixed it to better his life and the world as a whole thats what i like about history.
