How much do we know in History?…… Do we know enough?!

 

((History, listen closely to the word: hi-story.  Do you hear the word “story”?

History is a story: it’s a story of all the people who have lived before us. It helps us remember who we are and what we’ve done. When we study history, we learn stories of great men and woman who have done extraordinary things.

History is not just the story of emperors and presidents: it’s also a story of ordinary people, of farmers, builders, artists, sailors, soldiers, teachers and children. Their stories are worth knowing .they are our stories.

history is about how we have changed and we’ve stayed the same. and so history is everyone’s story.)) 

This is how the word   history is explained to a first grader; I   read it in an American book called (what your first grader needs to know).

we wonder why  do we  have different information’s in other countries history, just  for example, the American history weather it was about the  country it self or about the  there  presidents and their  wives , cultures, politics even about the history of their  cinema. …well at that time they don’t have this kind of knowledge about our history? , I am talking here about regular people .  what is  the reasons behind that ? is it because they live in there own world and feel that our history is not worth knowing? “as some people think of them”, or they think that we don’t have a rich history? or their media is only  concentrating on specific things ?  or is it because they are not well educated or not well know ledged …….?

the thing is , we our selves  don’t know much of  our history!. yes we have been taught at school about the history of the  great prophets , our religion , our country and wars that happened very long  time ago… etc .

 but there has been occurred very important events, actions  and wars with huge damages , that changed  the history of our country , or important events that has been occurred in  other countries witch had a deep impact on us, weather they were positive or negative, at the end it made a huge difference and added something,   many powerful speeches has been spoken by men and women ,so it made a history, and  divided it into  “before and after”! .

we have never read A lot of these  stories  in books or  watched it in our media being really discussed  , we only heard of  them from our parents or from the people who were there at the  time it happened .

 we have been taught about great men in history with out  explaining to us why exactly they were great !!! , we knew for example  the date of there  death without  knowing the real  causes of there tragic death, not that it was mysterious ,but its  been chose not to be exposed , for some reasons..! there are surely a lot of ordinary men , women with different positions even children ,out there  who had accomplished many  important useful things, witch made them a great people who deserves to be added in the history.

These are just a few points witch are missing in our history that I feel as if I am  reading a book that been ripped from the middle and pasted with  an other book.

so if there are many  stories has been kept with out sharing  it in books or in our  media or even talking about it publicly , how do we expect the other parts of the world to know about it…..?!
