History 104

February 2, 2016

What is History?
History from my perspective is defined as knowledge passed down by those
who prosper. It is subjective to change, and can be interpreted to mean many things
to many people. As a scientist, I do not take history at face value. I do not readily
believe the written texts or passed down tales, unless they can be proven by
archeological evidence, or by any hard science field. History is to me simply just
tales passed down on events that have happened in the past, but in order for a tale
to be complete, it must come from an omnipresent point of view, a point of view in
which history lacks. Therefore, History is an incomplete record of the past, written
from the point of view of those who have prospered.
