RE: The two sides of the story, why we need to study more the history of an event.

in Hive Learners10 days ago

History has traditionally been written by the victors so it can be one sided. Information is much more available now than it used to be thanks to the internet, but it also allows people to warp the truth to their liking or convenience.

To understand today you have to understand the past, and world education free of bias would be helpful everywhere. But as we both know, bias is everywhere now and probably always has been. Wars have rarely been to help out the nation's populations, but for ego of the leaders...

yes like I said in another comment, schools are used as tools of idea propagation, and this idea is learned as the sole truth!

The problem is the truth they teach now is propaganda rather than than the real history. Politicized education is a huge problem in the US, professors want to teach what they believe rather than promote individual thought on part of the students.

it is hard to find neutral teachers/professors, they are already brainwashed somehow. I remember having a literature professor that used to be that root communist trying to spend 20% of the time criticizing the current government at that time which was more center-right. That's why I cited that history teacher that somehow he tried to be neutral everytime. We never knew if he was a more right or left person, and if we asked which Brazilian soccer team he used to cheer, he always answered that it was "Olaria". Olaria is a third-division soccer club in Rio de Janeiro that for sure he wouldn't cheer.
