I think history is recorded events, people, ideas, culture, global society, and more. Our ancestors recorded these over long periods of time by writing it on paper, engraving it on walls, and more recently, uploading it on the internet. Many people over time have found these writings or have found artifacts that help us learn about the past. I think we need to study history to help us move forward. In other words we can use patterns we found in history to help us predict the future. Here is an example: If a scientist was looking at weather patterns for the last year he could use this information to predict future weather. Another example is if you study about history and learn about other cultures you can be more open to people from other cultures. Here is a quote about history:
"If you do not like the past, change it." William L. Burton
I think this means that we can always change history since it is always occuring, if we try. In other words it means you can be the one who changes history.
"Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past." Sigmund Freud
I that that your blog post was very fun. I like how you did not just put a bunch of facts but you also included your opinion. And the idea of putting a quote was nice. What made it better is that you explained what the quote means to you.
