American History
|
Who are you? What is your history? In this course students will learn about historical events from 1900 to the present day. We will look at these histories for the sake of history. To learn and understand how society and cultures have changed going from point A to B. Students will learn how history has come to shape them. We will look closely at this with a focus on time, continuity, and change. These take place within culture, people, places, environments, institutions, power, authority, governance, production, distribution, consumption, technology, and society. |
WHO WRITES HISTORY AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Robertson's Laws of History
Law of TimeA pattern at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. A pattern in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
|
Law of ContinuityHistorical events are produced when an idea acts on a society. The greater the social awareness (of the event being created) the greater power of the idea needed (to accelerate the object).
|
Law of ChangeFor every consequence there is an equal and opposite cause.
