ReplyDelete(1) Our attitudes about the past, whether positive or negative, does affect our own politics and ideas. On the negative side, if we did something on the past such as commit a felony, in the future, a person would not be able to do the stuff they wanted to do as an adult. Another example on the positive side is they say historians who like reading as a child in in the past, then he will grow-up to develop dramatic and skillful writing skills.
ReplyDelete(2)I think there is value in studying history because it is useful and helps distinguish the educated from the uneducated. History offers information about how people and societies before us behave. History harbors beauty.
Hello everyone my name is Courtney Brackins. I'm in the 12th grade. My hopes for after graduation are to attend The Art Institute of Atlanta. I want to prusue a career as a Interior Designer or an Architect.
ReplyDelete1. Our attitudes afect who we are and what we become. Negative attitude influenes poor choices and situations one does not want to find themelves in. Positive attitudes on the other hand influence creativity and well being. Our attitudes affect our ideas heavily because our ideas are how we tend to precieve things and if we make negative or positive decisions makes all the difference in life. It also effects the way we tendx to preceive politics wheter it be in a good or bad way.
ReplyDelete2. Since I began to first study things I knew I would love history. I believe history is something that everyone should value. History teaches us so much who we are, where society has be. and where we are headed. If not for history I think we would not learn from ourselves and better ourselves for a more positive and brighteer future.
3. As stated above history is a beig part nof who society is. we learn from our past mnistakes and rise up from what we once were. History teaches you things that you think you would never have known if you didn't study. That's why I think it is of the most upmost importance to study history wheter it be about the history of mankind or something as simple as the invention of a common household product. History is what makes us grow and makes us stronger.;

ReplyDeleteIf we have a good attitude about our past then it will encourage us to do better in our future, but if we feel negative about our past then it will probably have a negative impat on our future. I mean it's like the old saying goes "What we do today determines what we do tomorrow".
