Miscellaneous
Recalling my formal education as a historian, I share my experience learning about the past. I elicit the motives drawing me to the field of history and historiography, and provide arguments cementing its imperative importance in illuminating key topics of conversation in modern society. I also explain the seminal historical argument of ‘absolute and relative truth,’ spurred by current post-modern interpretations of history. Ultimately, I believe that 'history judges the past and instructs the present for the benefit of the future.'
