<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== What is History? ==<br />
<br />
'''AIM:''' What is History? <br />
<br />
'''DO Now:''' Explore the following quotes and determine whether they are a positive or negative view of history?<br />
<br />
Today we will explore that question. Many famous people have answered this question. Here are some of their quotes, think about whether they are from someone who has a positive or negative view of history.<br />
<br />
<br />
"History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it <br />
illuminates reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily <br />
life, and brings us tidings of antiquity." '''Cicero'''<br />
<br />
"'History,' Stephen said, 'is a nightmare from which I am trying <br />
to awake.'" '''James Joyce'''<br />
<br />
"History . . . is indeed little more than the register of the <br />
crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind." '''Edward Gibbon'''<br />
<br />
"The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in <br />
history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience <br />
plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find <br />
yourself and your country both examples and warnings; fine things <br />
to take as models, base things rotten through and through, to <br />
avoid." '''Livy'''<br />
<br />
"History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. <br />
It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses,<br />
fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men <br />
as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but <br />
the activity of men pursuing their purposes." '''Karl Marx'''<br />
<br />
"Each age tries to form its own conception of the past. Each age writes <br />
the history of the past anew with reference to the conditions uppermost <br />
in its own time." '''Frederick Jackson Turner'''<br />
<br />
We are exploring history as it developed from two different historians, Herodotus of Halicarnassus (484 BCE – ca. 425 BCE)and Thucydides (ca. 460 BCE – ca. 400 BCE. Herodotus used mostly oral tradition to write his books ''The Histories'' and Thucydides relied on the scientific method to gather facts from primary sources (first hand accounts) to make his interpretations. <br />
<br />
We are discussing the use of timelines. The basic time periods BC or BCE (Before Christ or Before the Common Era) and AD or CE (After Christ or Common Era). Part of this topic is how to calculate time from BC to AD and from within BC or AD. We are discussing the use of "Circa" or a "c" before dates meaning "around" or "about".<br />
