Read this quote and think about its primary question — why bother studying the past? People live in the present. They plan for and worry about the future. History, however, is the study of the past. Given all the demands that press in from living in the present and anticipating what is yet to come, why bother with what has been?

Write a two- to three-paragraph journal entry in response to the quote, specifically addressing why you think it is important to study history and what questions you have about modern world history that you hope to answer as you move through this course. Identify at least two questions you would like to find answers for.

History is a way to learn. It is a way to learn from our mistakes. It is a way to admire our good deeds. It is a way to honour those who lived to make our lives better. It is way to understand that everyone suffers in war. It is a way to learn that peace is the best policy.

It is not merely learning the dates and data of events, it is the learning of causes, characteristics and consequences of events. This knowledge help us is planning for future. It helps us determining what we should and should not do. Without knowing what has happened, we cannot plan what we want to happen.

That is why, history is important and will always be.

that the mashine was talking hahahaha

either a donut or a sphere or a pancake or a flat sphere. it depends on where the vertical line is.

if the line goes through the center of the circle and is perpendicular to a diameter containing the center, then you get a flat circle.

if the line and the diameter of a the circle meet in the center of the diameter and at an angle, you get a pancake.

if the line is on the circumference of the circle and is at right angles   to the circle you get a ring.

if the line contains the diameter, you get a sphere.

the the line is parallel to the diameter and touches the circumference, you get a donut.
