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

Historical writings are very important in everyone to understand the connection


of past and current situation. It can hep us linkage countries or as a whole to draw
respective historical data. 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. 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. Predicting on the next generation can be possible.

How do we give meaning to a so called history? For me 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.
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. History also offers hints about how we
can organize and manage our societies, for the betterment of all those who live in
them.

Our understanding of what history is and the shape it should take is flexible and open
to debate. As a consequence, historians may approach history in different ways,
using different ideas and methods and focusing on or prioritizing 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.

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 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.
