What make history ?
I know that this will generate both debates and arguements but I ,desperately , need the best answer for my journal assignment.
So... What make history ?

Erm are you saying what makes history? Like the Beatles saying they are bigger than Jesus or what is history? Which is things that happens in the past.

Yes and no, there's more than wars in the history book.

You are so fucking stupid it makes me angry. I am going to punch you in the face. I swear to God. Do you actually think that this is a good topic of discussion and people should really spell out for you how history books are written? Kill yourself.

I want a very good topic sentence for my journal assignment, which is not your concern.
If you're not capable of giving me one, stop showing off how mature you are. It's not helping anyone, not even yourself.

Shade, maybe the first question you should ask before you start trying to write a paper is "What make english ?".

How do you know his paper will be in English? No relevance whatsoever.

I believe $hade mentioned that classes at his current school are taught in English. That's why you can understand every third post he makes now.

What makes history, or should you say his story?
That's it in a nutshell. The majority of history was written by Men.
Men are human and therefore would have their own reasons to writing it and are likely to be biased somehow. Some of it propoganda, the rest they might be trying to make certain actions more glorified and others to look worse than they might have been.
That's what makes history. A bunch of men possibly writing others deeds to look good for them. An ancient Monk called Bede was a historian that started writing from the birth of Christ, so he started the dating system (arguable).
Maybe look into your own history and it might help you figure out the rest. The Thai/Laos history would be very interesting to study, mate.

So, it's some events that affected people and they all agreed to recorded it ?
It's 3 hours before the class !! The reason I need the top score is to beat the winner look out of someone I hate, who's very good in bringing up solid points in history discussions.

History was written by the winners.
But that's gradually changing with the diversification of information and the internet.
The cost of this, however, is an apparent decrease in legitimacy of everything. But this is actually an illusion. That which was given no legitimacy before can now be a matter of conversation, and that which had full legitimacy before is finally being questioned, as most of us know one side will never tell the truth about the other side.
It only becomes costly to those that preferred convenience, not to those that took skepticism as a priori for any piece of information they learn.

I already said that in so many words, Jillian. He's not going to be satisfied with anything anybody says here. He's just going to repeat what you say in the form of a question and follow it up with some abortion of a quip.
