Looping Sketch#6 What has history shaped?

History has influenced a variety of aspects from the devices that we used today to our own thoughts. Why do some people say that the past is unimportant and that there is no use talking about it? History affects our dreams and our values. What would have happened if cars were not made and technology was not invented in the last couple of decades? History helped people, grow and try to embrace their values and their dreams. According to the article, "A Brief History of Lawns", as human knowledge increased, politics and economics also changed. Our current life is not perfect, but now some of us can be seen as more blessed compared to people in the past. History influences our way of life, since things do not stay the same, and people have to accommodate to change. History shapes our whole life, so we need to be informed and accept what happened in the past. Therefore, I will try my best to teach the truth and tell my students that history has power over who we are. Do you know the name of some of your ancestors? Do you know how much your ancestors fought for rights or how much they suffered? Knowledge of history makes us a better person, so everyone should study it and be open to accepting how history shapes your life.
