The reason that historians differ on the causes, effects, and who was responsible for “historical events” is because memory is reconstructive and unreliable. Therefore the written history of 9-11 is affected by bias because the writers, children, and adults memories are affected by the schemas of each one’s individual culture. This can change the recollection of 9-11 and other traumatic events. Memories linked to 9-11 differ between different cultures. This is the case because 9-11 has had a significantly different impact of people's memories of the event due to their varying regions and cultures of the world. Schemas are humans thoughts or processes about anything. Therefore, every human being has a different schema creating various schema …show more content…
Cultural schemas are a person's ideas or knowledge about that specific culture or different cultures. Cultural schemas can affect the way people remember 9-11 because if someone practices a different culture such as the Japanese, Chinese, Greeks, and Zulus, their views on 9-11 may not have such an impact as it would an american. Thus, creating different ways on how cultural schemas affect the way people learn about and remember 9-11. For example, if you were to ask a Chinese person about 9-11 today they may not honestly know what you’re talking about, or they might remember briefly about the traumatic event. Whereas, you could ask any american adult today about 9-11 and they may go into great detail about the traumatic event, and they would have recollection about the location, the shooters, and the background of 9-11. It is shown that through our cultural schemas, people of different cultures and regions can learn specifically about what happens in that region, rather than understanding and learning about a traumatic event that happens across the world. These schemas can affect people's remembering of 9-11 because what someone learns in one culture may differ from another culture, proving how one event could be relevant
but it’s their faith that makes them believe in it. I believe that faith is connected to my question because many people had to disagree and agree on so many religious facts and even until today many people still do not agree on some informations when it comes to religion and that's why there are so many religions and different beliefs in the
was only six years old living in a small European country known as Slovakia. I remember watching the news and seeing the twin towers tumble towards the ground on September 11th 2001. I didn’t fully understand what was going on at the moment, but all I knew was that the people who crashed the planes were the bad guys who had no sympathy; at least that is what I was told. No one was going to explain to me who they were, why they committed such a crime, and the impact they caused on others. Five years
Pipes refers to as Stalin’s ‘personality of excesses’. Although for many years, numerous historians including both members of the Western school of thought (such as Pipes), along with the official Soviet historians of the time believed that Stalin was the natural heir of Lenin, opinions have changed with time. As more evidence came out of Stalin’s mass atrocities, the Soviet historians soon began to see Stalin as the betrayer of the revolution as Trotsky had always maintained
were very personal and very bias against the war effort. She had very few facts, if any about the war; her account was mostly how it impacted her and her family. Her perception of the war is very different of the actual historical perspective. This is why perspective is so important. It provided facts about the war that she could not state. Each historical source described the reason for U.S. involvement, each president’s opinion on the war and the action they took, and major military operations. These
"whoredom". This imagery is seen as Israel (Gomer) as a woman who has betrayed God (Hosea) through infidelity, worshiping other Gods and procreating with other people in those religions. We see Israel as an exposed woman for her iniquity (Hosea 2:3-9) a shaming for her transgressions as a bride. God casts Israel out of the home for her disloyalty (Hosea

Mikala Stokes Professor Beckelhimer Rhetoric in History 29 October 2014 Words: 2450 150 years later: Civil War Debates in American Rhetoric More than sixty years ago William Faulkner proclaimed in his novel Requiem of a Nun that “the past is never dead. It’s not even past” (Faulkner). These words reign especially true regarding the impact of the American Civil War (1861-1865). The reasons for the conflict were complex and numerous, but mostly controversial. The men who fought in the War were essentially
math correctly Paul most definitely didn’t use the KJV to deliver his very inspired messages sent from God. Most people using the KJV now are using a “modern” version of the KJV, not the 1611 original King James. If it was the only inspired version why wouldn’t you continue to use it and not “modernize” it? If the King James Version was the only true version would someone who was saved from a message delivered from an “uninspired” version have a faulty faith and salvation? Now I don't know what translation
Document C: A Handbill from Boston warning Blacks concerning slave-catchers Note the date on the Handbill (1851). Again, this gives you a great opportunity to bring in outside information about the Compromise of 1850. Remember that one of the provisions strengthened the Fugitive Slave Law. This handbill is typical of what one might have seen throughout the North during this period — certainly true in Wisconsin which had some Underground RR connections. Document D: Emerson

sociology from other forms of social study. Hence, many begin to describe thinking sociologically by what it is not - it is not thinking politically, thinking anthropologically, thinking historically or thinking psychologically, for example (Berger 1966: 11-36; Reiss 1968: 2-3). Others try to determine the nature of sociological thinking by detailing practical phenomena which can be thought about such as social systems and their subsystems, social institutions and social structure, and social aggregates
great principles of the Revolution have long shaped our thoughts of what it means to be an American. All the events leading up and after the American Revolution will have effects on the common people. The story of George Robert Twelves Hewes helps historians comprehend the part that the common people played in their struggle for freedom and republican ideals they wanted to achieve for the generations to come in the new nation. The common people were important because if they didn’t join John Hancock
2012 Abstract Historians have used different kinds of sources to reconstruct the narratives of the past or to create a complete and accurate picture of what happened in the past on such aspects as politics, economy, society, culture, religion and art. Their task is not easy and obviously, studying early Indian history also follows this principle. In fact, sources of ancient Indian history are complicated, especially in the case of the written sources, so
