History is Manipulated
Dr. Elijah Smith
Before we start our lesson, why do you think is history important to us?
but well, why should I become the talk of the town with my opinions
Kyren Everhart
It is important because it gives us a chance to delve into the great minds that lay in the graves. It helps us realize how far we have come and how much farther we can go. It is important to be able to look back in order to move forward
Kyren Everhart
Do you have a problem with my answer?
Asper Davis
I am sorry, I have a habit of scoffing
Dr. Elijah Smith
It's okay Asper, why don't you express your beliefs?
Asper Davis
it's just that, although the crown prince is right in his stand, the idea of history being helpful relies heavily on the idea of it being unbiased. In theory, history is a documentation of the past. In reality, it is a documentation of the past of those who could afford to write it. History, at least the history of our kingdom, was written by the ones in power. It talks about famine not as a failure of administration but as a superficial number of deaths.
Asper Davis
History is manipulated to suit the taste of the rich, so it only helps the rich.
Asper Davis
That is my opinion
Dr. Elijah Smith
That is a good take
Kyren Everhart
But not all of history is written, a lot of it is explored through archaeological explorations
Asper Davis
Archaeological excavations can only show the height of development not the depth of the underdeveloped. If centuries from now, our kingdom was excavated, people would see the buried riches and jewels and no one would realise that the commoners lived on run down houses and half filled stomachs
Dr. Elijah Smith
Let us not start our first class with a discourse
Dr. Elijah Smith
It was a good take from the both of you
Dr. Elijah Smith
If you wish to dive deeper into the topic, you should make a project together on it.
He is not suggesting, he is telling us to do it.
Asper Davis
