George Gershwin helped spread jazz and ragtime music to white people. Before that, jazz was a predominantly black music and was considered too raucous to white people. Gershwin made it popular because he too was white.
The effects of the three Punic wars was death of several Carthaginians,decline of the Carthaginian civilization and its written history, and the rise of Rome as the sole power in control of the city of Sicily, Mediterranean region and trade. The main cause of the Punic war was control of the city of Sicily between the Carthaginians and the Romans. The second battle was fought because of desire by Carthaginian king to revenge the failures of his father.

I can't see the text but as for your question most of the history in the history books seem (to most) to have happened a lifetime ago so they don't really see how it retains to them and their lives. They live in the present time so they want present events. I believe that although past history is important to learn, we must also take notice of the historic events that are taking place right now. It lets us know what countries are doing (I.e war,trade,ect.) as well as our own and how we are involved in the affairs we are currently in. Most importantly it as a lesson and a reminder to the future generations on how certain events caused certain destruction. It is a stain in time so to speak so they will not take the action's we took in the past to lead them to the repetition of our past and current mistakes.
