What is History

Article 1- What is History.

History is a very important thing in life today. While we are living, history is in the making, new history is forming every hour, minute, and second that we humans chose to exist. The actual definition of history is “A usually chronological record of events, as of the life or development of a people or institution, often including an explanation of or commentary on those events”. We take this to mean that history is all the events occurring up to the present time. Time is ever changing, and our time on this earth could end any second, so we should spend our life here on Earth in the best way we can helping people all the time and not worrying about our selves, or what everybody else is doing. Life is very precious and delicate and we should work to preserve it.
Know history is important because we can learn from our mistakes as humans. For example, we learned in the past that some structures of building did not work structurally, and what did work structurally. As we know that the pyramids were made wonderfully structurally and they served as other purposes like we learned in history. We learned that they were made for tombs for the Eygupistains kings, and all of the king’s belongs, so that when the king died, he had all of his possessions with him when the king when to the afterlife. Also we know from history that not all people where mummified, it was only the wealthy who could afford it, the poor did not get mummified, they were buried and their possessions where sold off to other people who could pay for it.
History is also important because without it we would have no record of our speech or our advances in technology. Without history we would have no recode to go back to and understand how we domesticated animals early in history. Without this knowledge, we most likely would forget that the domestication of animals shaped our would to what it is today, without the domestication of animals we would not have art or computers, because we would still be hunter gatherers looking for our food and living on the land, eating wild berries. Also if we never had the domestication of animal we would not have grocery stores and not have places to shop or eat, or places to do most things we do today as a past time and places we hang out with our friends. “History made the countries what they are today, and it does not only revolve around the famous things that happened it is also the little things that shaped our world to what it is today” says Leanne Ches. This is her view on history, and many other people have the same view on our world today.
History shaped America to what it is today. With history, in America, we formed government and Industries. In History, in the United States we learned how to govern ourselves and live by ourselves without England’s help. As we know, the United States is one of the most prosperous nation in the world today, and that would not have happened without History, because as a nation and the Unites States of America, we learned what types of governments worked and what did not, also we learned that people like religious freedom. With knowing that knowledge about humans, we formed one of the best countries in the world, and we still are. We, the United States, are one of the most powerful countries in the world and we owe that all to History, and what we learned in History.
McDonalds, as we know is one of the most famous fast food restaurant. We know that they operate everywhere, selling and flipping burgers twenty four hours a day. They have, through history, prefect recipes that keep their customers coming back. Without history, there would be no record of the recipes, and all of America would have to find another place to get their food from when they are on the go, in rushed situation, or just looking for a guilty pleasure. With McDonalds, they spread through the world, causing globalization, which also helped out other countries learn about our history, and where the McDonalds came from in the first place. Some people may not know it, but without history we would not have a McDonalds or Burger King.
The four types of history are Linear, Cyclic, Hegelian, and Vortex. My favorite type of History is Cyclic history. This history is that there are major forces acting and motivation humans in life today causing them to be born, to die, and to be born again. This types of history is named so because it is known as the history that is a cycle. I chose this type of history because I think it would be cool to think that after I die I will be born again. This is a good thing and a bad because if I am born again, I will experience the future, but it also mean that I will experience that pain and suffering that comes with it. Also if I am re born, I have to eventually experience the end of the world and that is something that I am not looking forward to at all. I also like this type of history because it means that I was alive in the past. This means in one of my past lives I could have been a queen or a homeless person, either way I would of have had many different experiences then what I have today, I would have had to work for myself, and plant my own food, wash my own clothes without any help, and figure out how to survive. However you look at history, there is no denying that history is the most important thing in the world, and a person should always look at what they are doing because it will eventually be marked down and become history.
