ALTRUISM
 WHEN YOU GIVE SOMETHING OR HELP SOMEONE WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN

                                    

History is not about memorizing facts!!!

• history is about change over time
• history is about cause and effect --not just chronology, not just correlation
• correlation is not causation--just because two things follow the same pattern doesn't mean they are cause and effect
• look not just for what happened first and second but for how the first could have caused the second
  

Lots of different things count as
an explanation in changing history:

• actions of great people
• changing ideas(general public or written in serious magazines)
• ecology and disease, population pressure
• social movements (eg. civil rights movement)
• religion
• natural events and natural resources
