What's the difference between History and Social Studies?
Q. I'm on Collegeboard and it's asking me how many years of Social Studies I've taken. I've always thought that social studies was the same as History, but it also asks me how many years of History I've taken. I plan on taking two years of History (I'm a Sophomore) and I don't know what they mean. The college I want to go to (UNC at Chapel Hill) doesn't require history, but they require three years of social studies. Would my two years in History (World History and US History) count as social studies? Are Social Studies and History both the same? If not how would I fufill their requirements? -Please help

A. Your histories would count as social studies. When I applied to UNC, I put down my histories (which were US history, World history, Government & Politics, etc.) and got in.

How can I make history a meaningful career? How can activism fit in with history?
Q. I really enjoy history and would love to have a more scholarly career. However, it bothers me that a job history doesn't really imply a shaping and changing of the future, while I would like to have a more meaningful effect in working towards positive change. What are your opinions on the relevance of history and how it can be meaningful? Are there are any careers you can think of that would combine history and activism? (I am also not so much interested in studying activism)

A. There are plenty of would-be activists in the historical profession. They're the people who go to historical conferences and get on their soapbox. Academics who shriek and cast aspersions on everyone who presents arguments which differ from their own. For all the talk of passion, engagement and social justice that exists in the academy, the fact is that most activists make terrible historians. Sure, objectivity is impossible. Progress a delusion. But good historians are open-minded give all arguments a fair hearing. And beyond that, if you feel so passionately about certain causes, you'd be miserable in academia. As the last respondent pointed out, activism is far better suited to politics or the law -- jobs where your goal goes… [cont.]

Q. A recent question, and more to the point an answer to that question, has me wondering what folks consider to be history. Does a controversy, no matter if it's political or something else, fit your view of history? Or to you is history just important dates and speeches? See, to me this contrevesy is still a part of history, in fact as I type this it becomes a part of history. History isn't just important dates and speeches to me. It's not just the major figures involved in those dates or giving those speeches. It's everything that has happened or is currently happening.

A. Get a copy of H.G. Wells, "A Short History of the World". It's about 320 pages, but it is divided so that you can look at only what you need. The book is from 1922, so it doesn't cover events after that time. This can generally be found in any library. Google Books has a copy online, but I can't guarantee that you'll get access to all pages.

Asked by Always Singing - Tue Dec 30 10:24:04 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The earliest uses of symbolic rings are attributed to different peoples, including the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. Betrothal rings were meant to symbolize a woman s connection to the man who would become her husband, though the arrangement was more of a business proposition than a romantic union. Romans used iron rings to symbolize strength and permanence, and the Greeks are credited with the initial idea to wear the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand, where the vena amoris or vein of love was supposed to connect to the heart. During the ninth century, Pope Nicolas I endorsed the idea of engagement rings by making a gold ring a betrothal requirement to demonstrate the groom s wealth and ability to care for a wife.

A. Well, I'm much more into the social aspect of history than that of the political or diplomatic, but all three must be considered. There was a political dimension: the US was growing, and settling this area with US citizens was obviously more to our advantage than to allow it to be settled by others who might prove less than friendly toward our interests. There was a diplomatic one, as well--we nearly went to war with Britain over the Canadian border. Of course, the social portion is found in the reasons why people went there, and the interactions with the native peoples already in the area. It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that the consequences for the Native Americans weren't necessarily good--people of the nineteenth… [cont.]

Asked by jack - Thu Jan 10 03:43:10 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There was no Bronze Age or Medieval period in north America. The natives went straight from a stone age culture to the modern period. Bronze age, Iron Age, Roman, Saxon and Viking, Medieval are all periods of European history and can not be applied to the Americas. The fact is that although the whole of North and South America retained neolithic culture until white contact, certain native cultures also evolved rudimentary metalworking techniques. This ranged from the very crude use of native copper in the Great Lakes and Central America regions to casting gold and other metals in central and South America. This is still part of a Stone Age technology, however.

The best thing you can do is inquire at your preferred universities, and go from there. Suppose your university only offers courses in the Classics department, ask them which university offers courses in the history department, and at what level/detail. They should know. Good luck!

A. History has usualy been written by the victors, but in this age of communication - especialy the internet - that's becoming harder and harder to pull off. Plus, it's very difficult to see who the actual victors are in this one. What happened on 9/11 was a tragedy that caused untold suffering for thousands of people. Sadly, the way the Bush administration have chosen to deal with it and the mess that has followed will probably overshadow that as time goes on. I can't speak for how it will be viewed in America, as there seems to be more of an isolaionist viewpoint persued there (not by all Americans, that's not a diss to them, but by the government and media). Look at how many Americans believe that WWII didn't start until Pearl Harbour… [cont.]

A. Congrats on the new job. Basically, a background check deals with law enforcement agencies. As long as you have no convictions you get the job. Credit reports and background checks are not related in any way. Unless your employer specifically said that they are pulling your credit report there are no worries for you. Even if he is pulling your credit report then you would probably have to have a bankruptcy to raise any eyebrows. Just act very confident and you'll probably get the job.

Asked by Sublime_yo! - Thu Sep 20 18:22:18 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. For example, the 1960's, younger people didn't really like the formal swing music of their parents, and preferred other music like rock and roll. Also in the sixties, there were events happening like the war and riots which could have influenced some types of music to come about. Folk music had protest lyrics, and psychedelic music was intended to recreate the effects of LSD. So I guess you could say a drug influenced music in this case. Funk had influences with black racial issues in the 60's and still other types of music were for the church and part of a long tradition. I hope this helps somewhat. Certain events might have brought about genres of music as you move from swing to rock and roll to rock for example with some of the above… [cont.]
