History

I do not agree with Paige. We can learn so many things from history. Without us knowing what happened in the past we would make the same mistakes over and over again. So history is a useful tool to show us how to go about different circumstances. Paige claimed, “history was written by the winners.” I see where she is coming from but I believe that History is recording the facts; sometimes the winners record it and sometimes the losers. It just so happens that the winners record it more often because the losers are usually dead.  That’s just how it works. History has helped us progress our society, because we have written things down or recorded them we can build off of each generation. If we were illiterate different methods or ways of doing things would be forgotten all together. Thanks to History and records we can become a more advanced society.
