    The document discusses the definition of history according to Zeus A. Salazar. History is defined as the account of the past that has meaning, significance, and importance to one's own society and culture. It further implies that history should be reported using the concepts and categories of one's own culture. Writing history from an outsider's perspective could lead to issues as they may not fully understand the culture or have access to local sources, while an insider could provide more accurate and nuanced information but may lack objectivity.

    SELF ASSESSMENT 1

    Below is a definition of history by Zeus A. Salazar (1999). Examine it


    carefully then answer the questions following the definition.

    “Ang KASAYSAYAN ay SALAYSAY hinggil sa nakaraan o


    nakalipas na may SAYSAY – kahulugan, katuturan, at kabuluhan – sa
    SARILING LIPUNAN at KULTURA o kabuuang kinabibilangan. Ito ay
    iniuulat gamit ang mga konsepto at kategorya ng sariling kultura.”

    A. What does the author mean or imply by “Ang kasaysayan ay salaysay…


    na may saysay sa sariling lipunan at kultura”?
    The author wants to indicate that the history is all about past events
    that have deep meaning and importance to our society. It is important
    for us to know our history because through the history it can bring us
    to our past, it always reminds us the past events that has deep impact
    in our society that help to change the world. The history has special
    meaning to our lives, it connects us through it. What we have no and
    what we predict on the future of our society has an involvement to our
    past.

    B. The statement. “Ito (referring to kasaysayan) ay iniuulat gamit ang


    mga konsepto at kategorya ng sariling kultura implies who should write
    a people’s history. What issues would emerge from (1) a history of
    people written and
    interpreted by an “outsider” (a foreign Historian); and, (2) a history of
    people analyzed and presented by an “insider” (a local historian)?

    B.1 History written by an outsider

    In my point of view, history written by an outsider can be


    contradicted by history written by an insider. Not all information are
    inappropriate because the history wrote by an outsider isn’t permanent
    so it means that the history written by insider is not that accurate. In
    conclusion, foreigner or an outsider who write history to a foreign
    country can receive a negative feedback from the locals.
    B.2 History written by an insider

    The history written by an insider is obviously can give more


    appropriate information about history because it is written by an
    insider, it means the he/she is knowledgeable about their own country
    and can find more reliable source to write history by his/her own hands
    and knowledge. But on the other side I can say that history written by
    an insider have also disadvantages because we can think that he/she
    can write by his/her own with false claims, and can’t provide evidences
