What good is it taking history classes in high school? How are history classes good to take? At my high school you need world history, government, ecconomics, and american history to be able to gratudate. What good is it to take american history and world history.

There is lots of things you can do with English, math and science but what good does history do? What kinds of jobs can you get from taking lots of history classes in high school? I know what its for but what kinds of jobs can you get with it?
What's the difference between History and Social Studies? I'm on Collegeboard and it's asking me how many years of Social Studies I've taken. I've always thought that social studies was the same as History, but it also asks me how many years of History I've taken. I plan on taking two years of History (I'm a Sophomore) and I don't know what they mean. The college I want to go to (UNC at Chapel Hill) doesn't require history, but they require three years of social studies. Would my two years in History (World History and US History) count as social studies? Are Social Studies and History both the same? If not how would I fufill their requirements? http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/academictracker/servlet/ACTServlet?English=4&History=3&Foreign_Language=4&Math=4&Science_total=3&of_Science_Lab=2&Social_Studies=0&Electives=4&AP_Course_Ind=Y&SAT_Critical_Reading=+&SAT_Math=+&SAT_Writing=+&ACT_Composite=++&ACT_English=++&ACT_Math=++&GPA=10&Class_Rank=4&action=p&collegeId=3635&greyLeft=true -Please help
How can I make history a meaningful career? How can activism fit in with history? I really enjoy history and would love to have a more scholarly career. However, it bothers me that a job history doesn't really imply a shaping and changing of the future, while I would like to have a more meaningful effect in working towards positive change. What are your opinions on the relevance of history and how it can be meaningful? Are there are any careers you can think of that would combine history and activism? (I am also not so much interested in studying activism)
What do people consider to be history? A recent question, and more to the point an answer to that question, has me wondering what folks consider to be history. Does a controversy, no matter if it's political or something else, fit your view of history? Or to you is history just important dates and speeches? See, to me this contrevesy is still a part of history, in fact as I type this it becomes a part of history. History isn't just important dates and speeches to me. It's not just the major figures involved in those dates or giving those speeches. It's everything that has happened or is currently happening. But it's broken down into the present, recent history, not so recent history, distant history, ancient history, and prehistoric history. Present history are things that are currently happening to within the last few days all others are covered in terms of days and years. What is history to you?
How can I learn the whole history in 4 months? Ok. I have a very important history exam in june where will be questions from all the history from ancient times to nowadays.

I mean not like in Wikipedia, because it's too much information there.I want to know only the most important dates and events. I have to learn universal history and romanian history. Thanks.
When in rock history where you could start your rock career? If I can choose which era in rock history so that I could start my rock career, I would have belonged in the British Invasion period of the 1960s when bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who gained popularity. Being the John Lennon/Mick Jagger/Roger Daltrey type of leader of the group, I would shape rock history with concept albums, psychedelia, and rebellious music. What about you? When in rock history where you could start your rock career? Why?
What is history? I have written a thesis statement of this question for my ap class. Is it a good statement? "What is history? Can history be changed? Is there a difference between history and the past? How do you learn about history? What makes something a good piece of history? What role does a bias play in recording of the past?' That is the topic I am writing the essay on. It doesnt have to be long but I need to touch ever subject. Would a good thesis statement be the definition of history? Or something else. And should I just write a paragraph answering each question?
How much does your history class really teach you about history? I mean general history, not just American history. From what I've heard you don't really get taught a lot about other histories, like French, Indian, Canadian, etc., unless it comes to play a part of American history. Like I'm sure when learning about the 2 world wars, you'll hear a bit about German history, eh? But what about besides that? You don't learn anything else about German history, do you? I already do my own studying, but I think schools should start to teach kids about more than just American history in history class. Otherwise it's not really living up to its name, now is it? Personally I would like it if in order to pass history class, you had to learn about American history, and also another foreign history of your choice. I mean maybe the kids will find out that they have some heritage coming from different countries, and they can learn about their other heritage history to pass the class. Wouldn't that make a good idea to maybe make history seem a little less boring for a lot of people??

What is the history of the engagement ring? I was sitting here thinking about wedding and engagement rings (one of those random thoughts that pop into my head from time to time).

What city would you say is the most important city in the history of the world? There are thousands of cities throughout the world that have played a significant role in the history of the world. Cities such as Rome, Cairo, New York City, Tokyo and Rio de Janerio have played a significant role in world history. Out of all the cities in the history of the world, which city would you say is the most important city that has ever existed in world history? Out of all the cities in the history of the world, I would say that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is the most important city in world history because if it wasn't for Philadelphia, the United States of America (which I believe is the greatest civilization that has ever existed) would have never been created since the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America were drafted at Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

What effect does unknown history have on people today? I have always been taught. If you don't know where you came from you can't know where your going. As Black people in America, our history is lost. As far as our ancestors and family structure due to slavery. And what is taught in schools of our past is in passing and highly inaccurate. how can we hope to uplift the race without the sense of history of so many other cultures in the US? sure.... lets concentrate on grammer, and not the larger issue at hand. yep, grammer is what's important here.lol

How would White History Month differ from any other month in history class? To those that think we need a White History month, how would this differ at all from the 90 percent or so of white people that make up the american history books? Imagine this scene: Teacher: Okay, class. For White History month, we will take some time out to study people we don't normally cover in history lessons. This month, instead of studying George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, FDR and JFK, we're going to be studying George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, FDR and JFK.

I really know nothing of the history of mathematics, and I have learn as much as I can about it in a week for a competition. I don't really have time to get a book from a library. The competition is multiple choice, so is it probably going to be questions involving names, dates, and what people did. I don't know what specifically it is on. Is there a resource that gives a concise history while telling a lot that I can learn in a week about math history?
What should I do for my European History project? For our final project in AP European History, we are supposed to design a "museum" exhibit. We need to write up a brochure explaining the historical significance of our exhibit and then either build or show pieces of art, history, models, etc. In past years people have had art slide shows or built model WWII planes. I'm having trouble thinking of a creative idea though. It just has to have to do with European History from the Renaissance to present time. Thanks for any help!
