1How important historical writings are to a person group/race, and country?

Historical writings is very important in everyone to understand the connection of past and
current situation. Modern historians aim to reconstruct a record of human activities and to
achieve a more profound understanding of them. This conception of their task is quite recent,
dating from the development in the late 18th and early 19th centuries of “scientific” history and
the simultaneous rise of history as an academic profession. It can hep us linkage countries or
as a whole to draw respective historical data. History needs evidence that’s why we need
historical writings, few people only like the information but those who are less interested need
what the purpose is.

It has been said that who controls the past controls the future, means how we view the
history shapes on how we view in the present so historical writings can help us offer on
existing problems. People live in the present plan for and worry about the future, given all the
demands of living in the present, why bother with what has been? Why do most schools insist
students learn a good bit of history? While history can provide inspiration and beauty in our
world, the real usefulness of the subject rests on three important ideas: history helps us
understand ourselves and the people or places around us; history helps us understand
change and how current traits came to be; and history helps us build the skills to think.
Predicting on the next generation can be possible.

History helps people use information more successfully. Historians are flooded with
information (books, pictures, statistics, archaeological remains, personal observations, and
interviews). Learning how to combine different kinds of evidence develops the ability to make
clear arguments and support those arguments. History writings provides a sense of context
for our lives and our existence, helping us to understand the way things are and how we
might approach the future.

3 What is the difference between factual history and speculative history?

Factual coming from the word "Fact" means that it is something that can be proven or
something that is already proven. Speculative coming from the word "Speculate" means that
something that can be viewed from different angles or views.

Factual History meaning events in history that happened with proof of the event or thing taking place.
This type of history can be backed up by writings or even footage of the event that took place.
Speculative History meaning events in history that may have an alternate history or questionable
history. This type of history is mainly used when two or more parties have different answers on why a
certain event had taken place or how a certain event had taken place. Speculative history mean
events in history that may have an alternative or questionable, it is based on guessing or opinions that
may lead to controversies.As adjectives speculative is characterized by speculation; based on guessing
or unfounded opinions while factual is of or characterized by or consisting of facts.

2How do you give meaning to a so called history?

Human beings have always been interested in the past, for many reasons. History is the
study of everything and anything in the past particularly how it relates to human beings. But
past and history is different, the past refers to an earlier time the people and societies who
inhabited it and the events that took place there while history describes our attempts to
investigate, study and explain the past.
History also offers hints about how we can organise and manage our societies, for the
betterment of all those who live in them.

Like historical narratives themselves, our understanding of what history is and the shape it
should take is flexible and open to debate. For as long as people have studied history,
historians have presented different ideas about how the past should be studied, constructed,
written and interpreted. As a consequence, historians may approach history in different ways,
using different ideas and methods and focusing on or prioritising different aspects.According
to the ancient Greek writer Plutarch, true history is the study of great leaders and innovators.
Prominent individuals shape the course of history through their personality, strength of
character, ambition, abilities, leadership or creativity.

1. History for me is the study of everything and anything in the past particularly how it relates to
human beings. History is metaphysical its a concept or model we have constructed based on
information we gleaned. How did we know our heavenly father its because of the bible with its
history we felt him physically and mentally. History is not just about telling us but also to inform us to
be better.
2. Factual history meaning events in history that happened with proof of the event or thing taking
place, facts rather than theories. This type of history can be backed up by writings or even footage of
the event that took place. Speculative history mean events in history that may have an alternative or
questionable, it is based on guessing or opinions that may lead to controversies.
