"THOSE THAT DON'T LEARN FROM THE PAST
ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT!"
-GEORGE SANTANOYA
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
KEEP AN OPEN MIND & TRY TO MAKE THE CONNECTIONS!
