Week 2
Last class we discussed how historians look at history using technology. I have always thought historians knew a little about all periods of history. Generalization though is the last thing historians do and they look at specific periods/moments in history, but what worries my history knowledge is the human nature of being biased. We as people have a tendency of being biased and putting our own spin on events that has happened, so it’s hard to separate fiction from fact. For this reason, history is a great subject to study because it is a challenge to obtain the truth. Although difficult to obtain, it can be done if you know where to look, like primary sources.
