Why is it important to understand how the study of history changes over time and in different locations?

Hi,

It's important to understand how history changes over time and in different locations because every single place might have a different version of a certain topic. History is important, back then, important events occurred and no one had phones or cameras and so they used storytellers to pass on history. From time to time in many Meditteranean cultures, storytellers were the ones explaining the history, but as time passed, these stories started to change bit by bit. Every single time it was told by a person, it was changing and, therefore, people's version of history changed over time. But in other cultures, they actually wrote down the things that happened and so changing history was hard and people all read the same thing.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
