Such words like majestic, lonely, amazement. Even words like "green-eyed" to describe jealousy. ]]> 2022-05-28 18:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203077980 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203078194 History is important because it keeps us from repeating our mistakes that our ancestors made. It is especially important for me because it helps me to be aware of the past.

-David McCullough
This quote resonates with me because to me it explains why history is so important and how it impacts our identity and why we are what we are. ]]> 2022-05-28 18:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203079000 "Studying the diversity of human experience helps us appreciate cultures, ideas, and traditions that are not our own – and to recognize them as meaningful products of specific times and places. History helps us realize how different our lived experience is from that of our ancestors, yet how similar we are in our goals and values." https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203079213 2022-05-28 18:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203079213 It is important because history allows us to recognize signs of disaster before it is too late. It also helps us remember the consequences of certain actions before they are carried out. https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203079741 2022-05-28 18:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203079741 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203079917 "Studying the diversity of human experience helps us appreciate cultures, ideas, and traditions that are not our own – and to recognize them as meaningful products of specific times and places."

This quote resonates with me because I think it is important to recognize people's culture and why it is historically significant. It is also important to preserve traditions and beliefs passed down from ancestors to learn about how people lived before us especially since mainstream media is making it harder to do this. ]]> 2022-05-28 18:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203079917 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203080555 History is important because it provides countless examples of how certain actions in certain situations can lead to different effects. These examples can help present day decisions by looking back on similar circumstances. ]]> 2022-05-28 18:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203080555 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203080586 "Our history is not our destiny." This quote is meaningful to me because I heavily live by it as everything in the past is a learning experience that you can grow from and you can know how to not make the same mistake again.]]> 2022-05-28 18:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203080586 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081194 History is important to me because it helps you develop an understanding of the world.]]> 2022-05-28 18:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081194 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081248 It is important because it is useful to learn from past mistakes such as wars and genocides to prevent it from happening again in the future. ]]> 2022-05-28 18:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081248 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081517 My favorite historical figure is Jesus he helps us change our lives, face our trials, and move forward with faith as we journey back to Him and His Father.]]> 2022-05-28 18:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081517 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081564 Alexander the Great is definitely one of the most important historical figures in my opinion. His conquest spread many Greek ideas and tradition that are assimilated in todays world in ways we may not even be aware of]]> 2022-05-28 18:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081564 My favorite historical figure is Vasili Aleksandrovich Arkhipov. It is because to launch a nuke you need the agreement of three officers. He was the only officer who disagreed with the attack and helped save us from a potentially the worst war that could have happened. https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081714 2022-05-28 18:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081714 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081720 History is important because you can learn through mistakes from the past and keep them from repeating. ]]> 2022-05-28 18:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081720 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081833 "The Past Teaches Us About the Present"
I agree with this quote because as we learn history and how people had solved problems in the past, we could probably get some ideas from there to understand current issues and think about how we are going to work to solve those problems in the future.  ]]> 2022-05-28 18:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081833 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203081869 I can alter the course of the future by evaluating and analyzing previous events.

That way, when we are all old enough to vote we can make informed decisions that can change our country for the better. ]]> 2022-05-28 18:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203082098 I will change history by living a normal life. Everyone changes history in some way albeit a very miniscule amount. https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203082138 2022-05-28 18:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203082138 I don't want to change history, it doesn't matter whether he is realistic or not, but any adaptation of that person or event in history is unfair to other people and things. Looking forward to the future, on the basis of our predecessors, we can avoid the recurrence of mistakes and break the barriers of our cognition. https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203082593 2022-05-28 18:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203082593 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203082672 I believe the only way the common person can change history is through documenting and spreading events that happen in todays world so it can be used by others in the future, the more that is documented now, the more the future is able to look back and make better decisions ]]> 2022-05-28 18:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203082672 https://padlet.com/miwu626/3q5tojsa81ovulch/wish/2203082728 My favorite historical figure is George Orwell because his warnings and messages(all taken from previous human experience) still hold true today.
