Do u think we can change are history in any way?

Answer 1

no, history is in the past; you can't change the past. A person can only learn from the mistakes of the poor decisions of our predecessors or ourselves and make changes to execute better decisions based off of what we learned from them.

Answer 2

History is a matter of perception. Any action that takes place and that is recounted is tainted by the perception(s) of the person or person(s) who recount it. Ten people witnessing a car accident will have ten different perceptions of what occurred - though it was one event. Therefore, though we study history and we should try to learn from it, we also need to understand that history has elements of imperfection in how it has been recorded. That is not to say the events did not occur - they have just been tainted in being retold or possibly glossed over (such as in political motivations) to not appear so heinous. And, even though film is extremely helpful in recording history, we have learned that even that method can become suspect through alteration.

Answer 3

Definately. We contribute to history as a whole, so even some small decisions we make can change history (like exercising our right to vote).

It's kind of a weird source to draw wisdom for, but there is an episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire when Will Smith's character reminds his uncle that Rosa Parks didn't start out trying to make a statement about civil rights or racial equality, she just wanted to sit down on the bus.

I have an interest in stories of the Holocaust in the 1940's and 1930's in Europe. One of the most famous stories of a Jew at that time is the story of Anne Frank. If Meip Geis, her husband, her bosses or anyone else who helped the eight captives in that attic for 2+ years had decided it was too dangerous and they just didn't think they could do it, she would not have been able to write her diary, which turned out to be an extremely insightful and inspiring book years later. They weren't able to save her or her family, but they were able to allow her time to write something that means a lot to hundreds of thousands of people.

Changing history doesn't have to mean you are remembered by name. It can mean you help someone who is remembered in the textbooks, or you lobby for a law to be passed (the AMBER alert, which has helped save many missing children within hours of their kidnapping, was initiated by an anonymous citizen who said the media could use its power to help, and a mother who didn't want any other children to be found too late). It can also mean that your teach your children to be respectful, inquisitive, hard-working, strong, kind individuals, so that they have the opportunity to "change history" when their time comes.

Answer 4

You can't change history. It has already happened. There are many who try to revise history to make it fit their own agenda, such as those who claim the holocaust never happened. The fact of the matter is, history is history. It happened and no matter what you do, you cannot change the past.

Answer 5

yeah, we can not add on to the negative of what has already happened, and we can make sure that it don't repeat itself in our generation
