20 years from now what will the next generation learn in their history class what the 2000's decade was like?

Question

What do you think will be written in future text books?

Try to imagine all the political and social issues happening now in your answer, Bush, 9/11, Iraq War, illegal immigration, Hurricane Katrina, War on Terror, etc.

Answer 1

I remember studying the early civil rights movement 20 years after it happened, and the text books were still treating it much as it had been treated in the media of the day (AFAICT, not remembering the 50s) - as a controversial issue with two sides.

Today, that period is treated very differently, painted as a glorious march of social progress opposed only by evil (and, of course, white) reactionaries.

It takes more than 20 years for an historical event to pass into the distorted realm of legend.

Forty years from now, students in history class may learn about how George W. Bush stood up to the threat of Islamism, and thus initiated the 2nd Cold War between the Civilized World and the Muslim World. Or they might learn that GW Bush, in spite of his 'foreign policy missteps' was a 'strong' and 'effective' president who increased the power and prestige of the office. Or, they might learn how the Evil Dictator George II, was deposed by the 2nd President of the Clinton Dynasty, ushering in a new Golden Age of Social Justice. Or, the Iraq War might get about as much coverage in the history books as the Spanish-American War, and the Presidency of GW Bush might be little more than a footnote sandwitched between the End of the Cold War, and some major calamity that happend in 2012 that made 9/11 pale into insignificance.

You never know.

Answer 2

needless to say you're actually not asking a query, you in elementary terms intend to make a debatable assertion and get some Christians riled. curiously you're actually not good at learn. The ineffective sea scrolls date various the old testomony a minimum of to 3 hundred years until eventually now Christ. The gospels weren't written until eventually approximately 20-30 years after Jesus died. There are some information in a biology e book, different than evolution. Even evolutionists say "nicely, there are some gaps interior the thought." You no longer at very nicely here a missionary say "nicely, there are some gaps in our faith." Evolution is a faith perpetuated by using atheists because of the fact they have no longer the rest to lean on. Are you so ignorant of see that especially atheists believe in evolution?

Answer 3

Katrina , and illegal immigration won't be talked about. The war on terror hopefully will end in we had a victory.

Answer 4

They will learn of a party that has deliberately attempted to sabotage America. Then they will also learn that the American people had enough and eliminated that party (Dems) in 2008.
