History as an AOK

History as an AOK In my own definition, history is the study of documentations from past phenomenons. Which four WOKs do you think History uses the most? Language- i think language shapes culture which is needed to understand history. Memory- history is documented from the memory of someone/group of people. Reason- most phenomenons occur for a reason, to understand history you must understand the reason behind it. Faith- faith is needed to believe in phenomenons that seem fake or unreal in our generation. Are there any WOKs History does not use? Intuition- since history is the past, your intuition can't help you know if the phenomenon is real or not. Sense perception- since history is the past, your senses can't help you know if the phenomenon is real or not. Emotion- history is based on facts and evidence where emotions are not involved.

Then i’m going to tell the kid to to paddle with a steady pace in a straight line. I am then going to tell them to just set themselves free and explore the world. They shouldn't ...
