Christoph Blepp

The Narratives on the Haitian Revolution Christoph Blepp German edition

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - Deutschland - 1848, Kaiserreich, Imperialismus, Note: -, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Neubiberg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: History, that is being taught in schools is a fact to us. As kids, we sit in our classrooms and know that everything we read and learn is a simple fact that happened some thousand, hundred or ten years ago. As part of our basic education, it socializes us and shapes us in how we perceive and analyze events, occasions, theories and ideas. On this basis, we then start our higher education and try to learn, analyze and create on the next level. We use the scientific and academic tools in the way we were socialized. Although everybody claims to be objective, one has to realize, that this is a very high set goal to achieve, if it is even achievable. Our moral, our ethics, our believes and our education always help us shape our ideas.
