I'm a fan of historian Michael Wood! One of my favorite items from him was the BBC documentary series, "In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great."
The quote you mention from Wood comes from his historical researches regarding India. (You could also look for his BBC documentary series, "The Story of India.") The "rejection of a whole way of understanding history" was the way that Wood described the actions of Asoka (or Ashoka -- you'll see both spellings). Asoka was ruler from 268 to 232 BC of lands that would later become known as India. Asoka was a great conqueror but also someone who found enlightenment through Buddhism. After conquering the Kalinga region in eastern India, rather than feeling some great rush of pride or accomplishment because of their victory, Asoka felt guilty. So he worked hard to improve the lives of the Kalinga people that he had conquered. This was what Wood was referring to when he said Asoka's attitude/approach "was a rejection of a whole way of understanding history." Conquest was not something to be celebrated triumphantly. Rather, the conquerors had an obligation to those whom they had conquered.
<span> Parsons uses words that describe the workers position in the labor force and how they feel about how they are treated and what they want instead of lots of work.</span>
<span>They make the workers sound lazy because it should be that they get more money when they do more work instead of doing less work for more money, it makes them sound greedy and like all they want is to get their paychecks handed to them. The words make them sound like the work conditions are horrible and they deserve better work conditions when they do less work.</span>
<span>I think he chose those words to be truthful and to demand more from the companies they work for. He’s going in front of the House of Representatives that they deserve different things.</span>
