Look for journal articles and books that define the nature of history. Take a screenshot in the case of
digital copies and a scanned photo of the page in the case of physical copies. Look for 5 copies and
afterwards, write your own synthesis. Put the 5 definitions into 1 PowerPoint slide, one definition per
slide. Contents:
1. Title page slide (Name, section, subject, instructor, date)
2. Compilation of definitions (Include in-text APA 7 Citation)
3. Synthesis slide
4. Reference list (APA 7)

Format your references in APA 7 on the final slide. Use standard forms: book (Author, A. A. (Year). Title.
Publisher.), chapter in an edited volume (Author, A. A. (Year). Chapter title. In E. Editor (Ed.), Title (pp. xx–
xx). Publisher.), article (Author, A. A. (Year). Article title. Journal Name, volume(issue), pages. DOI), and
for web PDFs include the organization and access date. Make sure the provenance lines on your
definition slides match the reference entries exactly.

Honor academic integrity: quote the definitions exactly and list page numbers. The synthesis must be
your original work. Any copied text will result in a failing mark for the synthesis and a formal report. I will
grade using these criteria: source quality (minimum three scholarly), provenance and legible images,
verbatim fidelity of definitions, a tightly argued synthesis that cites three or more sources with pages,
and a clean slide design with correct APA references.

Every historian would agree, I think, that history is a kind of research or inquiry. What kind of inquiry it is
I do not yet ask? The point is that generically it belongs to what we call the sciences: that is, the forms of
thought whereby we ask questions and try to answer them. Science in general, it is important to realize,
does not consist in collecting what we already know and arranging it in this or that kind of pattern. It
consists in fastening upon something we do not know, and trying to discover it. Playing patience with
things we already know may be a useful means towards this end, but it is not the end itself. It is at best
only the means. It is scientifically valuable only in so far as the new arrangement gives us the answer to a
question we have already decided to ask. That is why all science begins from the knowledge of our own
ignorance: not our ignorance of everything, but our ignorance of some definite thing-the origin of
parliament, the cause of cancer, the chemical composition of the sun, the way to make a pump work
without muscular exertion on the part of a man or a horse or some other docile animal. Science is
finding things out: and in that sense history is a science.”Collingwood (1946)

Prof. Carl G. Gustavson: “History is a mountain top of human knowledge from whence the doings of our
own generation may be scanned and fitted into proper dimensions. History enables a person to see
himself as part of that living process of human growth which has emerged out of the past and will
inexorably project itself out beyond our own life time. We are the product of the past but not the
complete product.”

History is a narration of the events which have happened among mankind, including an account of the
rise and fall of nations, as well as of other great changes which have affected the political and social
condition of the human race. (Anderson, 1876, p. 3)

Back in highschool and elementary, history was not my cup of tea. I don’t dwell too much on it. I just
comply whatever our teacher needs us to learn and memorize things that are needed for exam and after
that I just forget about it the next day. Before, I also don’t get it why we need to memorize the dates of
informations nd get to know the people in the past, who is not here anymore, like why not we just focus
on our present and make a good use of our resources and innovate for the future. Which I realized,
growing up the things we have today is the product of our history. That is why certain things are
treasured and honored for what it contributes to this day. learning history is beyond memorization. We
also need to think about the information we get critically and view the other perspectives and come up
with our own understanding. It is also our responsibility to evaluate critically the information we get. If

the things we have today are products of our history. That is why certain traditions, practices, artifacts,
and events are treasured and honored for what they contribute to our lives today.

Learning history, I discovered, is beyond memorization. It is not enough to simply recall facts. We need to
think critically about the information we receive, examine different perspectives, and develop our
understanding. If you are like me, who once wondered about the nature of history, then I guess it is
worth exploring together on its true nature and purpose.

It helps us see connections across time, empathize with experiences beyond our own, and recognize that
what we do today will eventually become part of tomorrow’s history.

Honestly, adopting an academic tone after that last round feels a bit like putting on an itchy sweater, but
hey, here goes—

Back during my years in primary and secondary school, history felt like a chore more than anything else. I
memorized dates, names, and places only because my teachers demanded it, and once the exam was
over, most of that information vanished from my mind. At the time, the necessity of recalling events or
individuals from bygone eras seemed questionable. I remember thinking: why not devote our energy to
present-day concerns or innovations for the future?

Eventually, though, I recognized a fundamental truth—our present is profoundly shaped by our past. The
traditions, practices, and even the technologies we benefit from today are, in large part, products of
historical development. That’s why societies preserve artifacts and honor certain events or figures; they
serve as reminders and lessons from which we continue to learn.
Through further study, it became clear to me that history is not simply an exercise in memorization.
Understanding history requires critical engagement: questioning sources, examining multiple
perspectives, and striving for deeper comprehension beyond surface-level facts. If you’ve ever wondered
about the point of studying history, you’re certainly not alone. It’s a worthwhile endeavor to explore the
true nature and significance of the discipline.

History forms the foundation of our current civilization. According to Anderson (1876), it is a narration of
human events, capturing the rise and decline of nations and the significant changes that have shaped
our world. Luebering (1998) offers a more nuanced view, suggesting that history is a chronological record
which must be critically examined—encompassing not only political developments but also economic,
social, and intellectual trends. Chatterjee (2020) traces the etymology of the word “history” to the Greek
“historia,” meaning inquiry, and the German “Geschichte,” meaning significant narration. These
definitions underscore that history is inherently investigative and interpretive.

Moreover, prominent historians like Carr (1961) have described history as a continuous dialogue
between the historian and their sources, emphasizing its dynamic nature. Collingwood (1946) takes this
further, asserting that history, much like science, is a form of inquiry that seeks to uncover unknowns
rather than merely catalog established facts. From this perspective, history becomes meaningful only
when it addresses significant questions through rigorous investigation.

In summary, the study of history transcends simple memorization. It involves inquiry, interpretation, and
critical evaluation of the past to better understand the present. As scholars suggest, history is not static;
it is shaped by ongoing questions and analysis. By studying how civilizations have developed and
transformed, we gain insight into our own society and its future trajectory. Ultimately, what we do today
will become part of history, reminding us that our actions have lasting significance.
