When we are born, become a character in history. Although we have no knowledge of what came before, we are instantly a part of the human story. We have an obligation to find out how we arrived at the point we are today. History is not merely a record of events that occurred in the past, but a story of real people, real lives, and stories of everyday families. When we see how we fit into that story, we develop empathy, moral understanding, and critical thinking skills to assess conflicting opinions. Their past decisions might not have seem correct to us in modern times, but history is evolutionary and changes as people and technology learn from the past and make new and better decisions in the future.
