IDENTIFYING POINT OF VIEW This is an excerpt from the essay “Why Study History?” by William H. McNeill. What is McNeill’s opinio

n of the study of history? Cite two specific ideas from the excerpted passage that support the author’s opinion. Do you agree with McNeill? Do you think knowing about McNeill’s past experiences and current work may help you better understand his opinion? Why or why not? “History offers innumerable heroes and villains. Reading about what people did in far away times and places enlarges our sense of human capacities both for good and evil. Encountering powerful commitments to vanished ideas and ideals, like those that built the pyramids, puts our personal commitment to our own ideals into a new perspective, perhaps bitter-sweet. Discovering fears and hopes like our own in pages written by the medieval Japanese courtier, Lady Murasaki, or reading about the heroic and futile quest for immortality undertaken by the ancient Mesopotamian king, Gilgamesh, stirs a sense of shared humanity that reaches back to the beginning of civilization and across all cultural barriers. On the other hand, studying alien religious beliefs, strange customs, diverse family patterns and vanished social structures shows how differently various human groups have tried to cope with the world around them. Broadening our humanity and extending our sensibilities by recognizing sameness and difference throughout the recorded past is therefore an important reason for studying history, and especially the history of peoples far away and long ago. For we can only know ourselves by knowing how we resemble and how we differ from others. Acquaintance with the human past is the only way to such self knowledge.”

Consider a wetland ecosystem similar to the one shown in the image below. In this ecosystem are two species: a small fish specie
harina [27]

If the local temperature changes in favor of greater oxygen levels in the water, the population of the small fish species and the wading bird population would be changed and affected NEGATIVELY in response to the newly elevated oxygen levels over the next six months.

High levels of oxygen over an extended period of time would cause the fish to eventually become sick and to die. This would leave the wading bird species without nourishment for life and energy reproduction leading to the depletion of the bird species along with the small fish species.
