Difference

Blogging is different because you don't have to worry about spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. It also helps you because you have the Internet right next to you to search something.

Favorite Blog Topic

I didn't really have a favorite because they were all a little interesting.

Stereotypes!

Stereotypes are so wildly known because they relate us to a culture, even if they aren't correct. I don't know how they start but they are sometimes offensive to people.

"that government is best which governs least"

I think Thoreau meant that the government which doesn't take a big role in society is a better government than one that controls their people. I strongly agree with this statement because the Chinese government wasn't good when they were a communistic country because they could control the citizens, whereas the American government is good in the fact that they don't control there people. Another good thing for a government that doesn't control is that they can have free-thinkers create the next technological achievement, which in turn they can export for money.

Change the way we teach!

I think we should change the way we teach elementary school children because they are very impressionable and will believe many things that you tell them. We should change the learning from, a little bit off the truth, to factual events. We can keep the type of material to a G-rated level and gradually, year-by-year, change it to a PG-13 rating.

Does history matter?

Yes history most definitely matters. If we didn't have history we wouldn't know where are relatives came from, how the earth was shaped and formed, and we also wouldn't know how are cultures existed, etc. I love to look at my family tree and trace it to certain points in history, so history is very important in my life and I don't know what I would do without it.

"History is the lie commonly agreed upon"

What Voltaire meant by this quote was that history is a debatable subject. There are many historical times that don't have all the facts to prove that it is factual. For example the moon landing; some people say that it was a hoax, whereas others say it happened. We will never no true historical events until we have all the facts.
