This question was raised in History class today.
Are we history? If yes, then why? If no, then why not? |

I've had a similar topic like this in my US History class.
This is how I perceive things. History and the past are two different things. History are things that have happened in the past that will control or change how things will happen in the future. Oh, I scratch my arm 5 seconds ago. That's not history. Eli Whitney introduced to us the idea of interchangeable parts. That's history. Nowadays, a lot of things are made with interchangeable parts like computers and cars. History also has to be something of importance. Something might not be important to you but may be to somebody else. For example, a soldier writes an account about his life in Iraq. It might not be important to us but years from now, somebody will find it and it will be of interest to them. And that's how we get our history. I hope that was a good answer for you. |
