Read the questions carefully and give what is asked. Write your answer on the spaces provided.
1. Define “History” based from the various perspectives given by historians.
Edward Hellett Carr – history what historian makes
Robin George – re-anactment in the historian’s mind of the thought whose history he is
studying.
Michael Joseph Oakeshott – history is the historian’s experience
Greeks – history as “historia” which means “story”, also means knowledge acquired by
investigation.
German – “geschicht” meaning event or struggle.
Defined as the past of humanity. It is a chronological record of significant events.
3. Explain how there are so little usable materials left to historians to use.
Due to the government's seizure and placement of several resources in museums,
including antiquities and weaponry, there are now fewer available resources.
The three main categories of sources are primary, secondary, and tertiary. Poems,
books, articles, extracts, dictionaries, periodicals, etc. are some examples.
As more historians have conducted their studies and exploited the historical resources
accessible over time, more can no longer be added.
