HIS100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Indigenous Rights, Philippine Revolution, Haitian Revolution
Document Summary
History is much more than names, dates, and places as it is a powerful tool that helps us understand humanity and develop a set of historical inquiry skills that can be applied both practical and academically. Convictions that people feel certain are true. Beliefs help us process information quickly, categorize it, and evaluate it. The formation of our belief system is influenced by culture, family, first-hand experiences, and education. Ideas that we accept to be true without proof even if it is right or wrong. These are the principles or standards that a culture considers important such as freedom, loyalty, fairness, equality, and independence. Values are our traits, routines, rituals, and behaviors. The course project is to write a paper about one of the topics listed below. Four main topics have multiple subtopics to choose from. The research consists of primary sources and secondary sources.
