What are the problems encountered in learning history of other countries?

Question

I am korean and I want to study hisotyr of other countries. Will there be problems that I will encounter in leanring it?

Answer 1

Figuring out the need for it when students should learn their own culture first. If you say we're made up of thousands of cultures, I say to you Bull Mahockey! People come to US because they don't like their culture. If they want their culture and heritage, stay wherever the hell they csm from. If you want to come to my culture leave yours where it is. If I want to change anything about the way I live, I'm not going to expect other people to change to be like me. If I move to central america, for instance, it would be my responsibility to master Spanish, because I would be a guest in their culture.

Answer 2

None at all, learning about other cultures and histories broadens the mind
Just make sure the history ur reading is the currently accepted version, lots of countries, specially communist ones, have been known to write their history as they would like it to be rather than how it really was
I find reading eyewitness accounts is very valuable as the people who wrote them have not reason to lie, if you read enough u can generally figure out the main truths.

Answer 3

Often times, the history written in textbooks around the world doesn't agree.

Many places will have history taught to their students differently than in other places.

I don't know of any non-biased books or web pages at the moment, other than wikipedia. Everyone seems to get their say on that site, and if you can read in between the lines, you'll be fine.
