Scholars who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it often attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events. Historians debate the nature of history and the lessons history teaches. A famous quote by George Santayana has it that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history.

GNU Free Documentation License How is your Credit History is affected in the UK? Q. Dear all, I would like to know which actions affect your credit history in the UK. I mean, if you forget to pay one bill of a telecommunications company and you proceed into payment in the next 15 days, is your credit history affected? Thank you! Thank you so much for your information. Actually, no one is threatening me, however I am new in the UK, planning to create the appropriate circumstances to have a mortgage; that's why I am asking. Thank you again! Asked by DigiBoy - Thu Feb 19 05:28:27 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Your credit report will only have defaults listed on it, a bill forgotten for 15 days followed by payment will not appear. You need to remember that the companys [Experian etc] that hold your credit record do so with good business ethics, and would not gain anything from adding defaults to your history when they are not valid, as it would invalidate thier credibility. If you got a bill from your telecoms company threatening that failure to pay might effect your credit status, they only do that to scare non payers into paying, it;s an automaticaly generated letter. If you have paid your bill now... There is no need for worry. It;s worth getting a credit report anyway, theyre's interesting and informative.Without bias or prejudice I… [cont.] Answered by Jamie B - Thu Feb 19 05:39:06 2009 How would White History Month differ from any other month in history class? Q. To those that think we need a White History month, how would this differ at all from the 90 percent or so of white people that make up the american history books? Imagine this scene: Teacher: Okay, class. For White History month, we will take some time out to study people we don't normally cover in history lessons. This month, instead of studying George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, FDR and JFK, we're going to be studying George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, FDR and JFK.

In most schools, you'd think Martin Luther King was the only black person that had anything important to say. You can't suppress a whole race's history and not expect them to do something about it! Most people that complain about black history month don't change their lives a single bit during it...sooo what's the problem!?! Also, I think society likes to forget that blacks contributed A LOT to this nation. Answered by a person - Tue Jul 14 05:28:49 2009 What is the most concise, yet filling history of mathematics that can be learned in a week?
Q. I really know nothing of the history of mathematics, and I have learn as much as I can about it in a week for a competition. I don't really have time to get a book from a library. The competition is multiple choice, so is it probably going to be questions involving names, dates, and what people did. I don't know what specifically it is on. Is there a resource that gives a concise history while telling a lot that I can learn in a week about math history? Asked by lord_erico - Thu Apr 10 19:59:32 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. as always, wiki is a nice source for some of these things. I would start with searching algebra, geometry, calculus, etc. then once you get a feel for who invented each then search names like Euler, Gauss, Newton, Leibniz, Galois, Pascal, Cauchy, Liouville, etc. just to name a few of the big ones. even Aristotle is important here because the Greeks wrote the book on geometry (in many ways). This is a quick fix but I know there are classes offered on history of mathematics and, therefore, texts available out there. In your predicament i would utilize some online resources and hope for an easy test :-/ Answered by Cursing Monk - Thu Apr 10 20:07:41 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "History"
