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.”

¿Los estereotipos culturales podrian afectar la interrelación entre las y los estudiantes que asisten al encuentro? ¿por que ?
Ann [662]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente la pregunta no mencionada el tipo de encuentro ni el lugar, pero podemos comentar lo siguiente.

Los estereotipos culturales podrían afectar la interrelación entre las y los estudiantes que asisten a un encuentro ya que influyen de manera directa en la percepción que tendrán los estudiantes de los demás compañeros asistentes.

Un estereotipo es una imagen preconcebida que distorsiona la realidad. Y esto claramente afecta porque antes de conocer a tus compañeros asistentes, los puedes estereotipar por clase social, raza, o lugar de procedencia.

Por ejemplo, un grupo de estudiantes de una escuela privada conocida por ser de nivel social alto, y por ende cara, puede estereotipar a los alumnos de una escuela pública, al que asisten alumnos de nivel social bajo y sus alumnos no hablan ni visten como los de la escuela privada.

Así que lo importante no es estereotipar, sino llevar una mentalidad abierta para conocer a los compañeros. Y hasta no haberlos conocido y hablado con ellos, tener una opinión más certera.
