Socials 8

September 8, 2016

-Each person presented their "story" in a small group

-The idea of "Historical Perspective" was introduced

  • What is perspective?
  • We looked at how it is possible to see events from different perspectives and how this might relate to history.
  • In order to understand the people and events of the past, we have to understand what was important AT THAT TIME in terms of common opinions, values and beliefs
  • When we view the past through our "present' lens - this is called "presentism".
