Unit 0: Geography (Historical Thinking)

Picture
"I am convinced of the uncertainty of history, of the possibility of surprise, of the importance of human action in changing what looks unchangeable." - Howard Zinn

Welcome, padawan scholars,

Cicero said, "History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illuminates reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life, and brings us tidings of antiquity." What he means is that history is knowledge from the past that we can learn from. This makes me wonder; if Cicero is correct, then how can we know our knowledge is accurate?

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "There is properly no history; only biography." What he means is that history is not an amalgamation of all stories, but rather it is each story from each person, ever. This makes me wonder; if Emerson is correct, then what does that mean for the future of humankind?

Howard Zinn said, "I am convinced of the uncertainty of history, of the possibility of surprise, of the importance of human action in changing what looks unchangeable." What he means is that although history seems to repeat itself, it doesn't have to. This makes me wonder; can I change the direction of history?
