Did you learn about world history in school?

Answer 1

Yes, I took the class and no I didn't learn much. It really wasn't my fault. The teacher of the class gave us a worksheet and told us the answers are in the book and they will be on the test and that was it. He really didn't teach us anything. He almost destroyed my love of history.

Answer 2

The basics of world history are covered in high school and college. However, a person can also grasp a deeper understanding of history is by reading on their own. Pick a part of history that fascinates you and you will find you become an expert very quickly.

Also, majoring in history in college is also another good way of learning about certain topics/events you may have always considered very boring. I felt challenged when my professors wanted me to learn about topics that would never consider researching on my own. It made me re-evaluate why I thought a certain event was not interesting in the first place and approach it from a more objective view point. Thus, I feel the best way to learn about history is by pursuing this major in college and reading about it on your own.

Answer 3

I learned about world history in high school; it was a requirement. Once in college I learned a lot more though because the classes were more specialized in certain areas.

Answer 4

No. Most of what I learned about history in school was politically motivated BS. I've learned a million times more about REAL history by my outside reading than I ever learned in school.

Answer 5

Well, they taught it. I wouldn't go so far as to say I actually leaned it. Not in school, anyway. All the things I've really learned about World History, I picked it up since I got out of school.

Answer 6

Yes and your saying? In 8th, all through High School, and College. But we also read newspapers, and listen to the news on the radio and TV (Cspan and CNN, and BBC), now we view it on the home page of the internet as well. News is History because by the time it is published or aired unless it is live like OJ riding in his Bronco down the LA freeway, it is all history.

Answer 7

Yes, it was required. I loved it better than American History. It was really compressed without too many details. As the years go by, the blanks keep filling in. They "whys" and political reasons are left out in high school history textbooks. Or at least they were in the 1980's.

Answer 8

Yes and no. That's where I first learned but I read a lot more and learned even more not to mention I lived some of it.
