What is the term in the field of history, general, media? That's true. The country created myths, gathered them together, identified them and kept them, and helped them identify their values and their enemies.
As I am an Australian, the history of our social myths means, for example, that in the Cocoda Truck, a trained ordinary Brooks group interfered with the power of the large Japanese army for other reasons I will. Local entertainment, Australian furniture, and bait are better. In addition, the whole movement is strategically irrelevant)
However, as a discipline, "history" as a discipline as a structured way to understand the past is not your business. In this sense, history is a detective story, we are trying to prepare to debate our case, as close as possible to the truth, to the conclusion as we do in court. The fuzzy area must be further investigated. Often from limited evidence, the conclusion has to be inferred and examined for other evidence, because of truth criteria rather than convenience.
If you want to be a sheep, accept the first type of history. If you want to develop your brain, to understand why they are, understand what they are, and understand why humans behave like them, a second approach To take
This is an interesting question. I think that there is something I heard that "winners write down the history". Or Napoleon Bonaparte is recognized as "history is an agreed lie". It was rewritten by the ruler. Rulers dominate the media and control recognition of who and who are enemies. If powerful people can control our past perceptions, they can control how the future will evolve based on their ability to control the media and military. By effectively using persuasive forces, people can convince their friends that they are enemies yesterday.
What is truly democracy? Is this just "people's will"? Of course not. This is a mistake of history. Democracy is primarily a set of rights that restricts people's will to be impulsive, compulsive, and violent. If people have strong and powerful rights, they are already beginning to do so they are less likely to resist. But what is right? Now right after the Second World War, Europe wrote a state-of-the-art positive right in its constitution. War broke out again. Medical, dignity, righteousness, right to education - not only old and outdated American negative rights, but what the government should not do: gun interference, freedom of speech, etc.
