Discuss the role of Hollywood in teaching, or "misteaching" American history.

History
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
7 0

Many people rely on movies to learn about historical events, but what they're not really taking into account is that Hollywood's main purpose is to generate blockbusters and revenue.

Firstly, one problem that "historical" movies have is that they're not usually accurate and there's fiction mixed with reality.

Also, many movies can be biased regarding some specific events that happened in the past, so people who watch those movies don't get to see what really happened, they just see a biased version of it.

There are stereotypical depictions in movies that are not completely true, for example cowboys or immigrants.

So, only watching movies to learn about events that happened in the past is not enough bacause dates and places could be wrong, there could be biased movies and sometimes fiction exaggerates the role or identity of historical figures. Movies should be watched as entertainment and to have a good time.

Who destroyed Jerusalem and scattered the Jews throughout the world?
dedylja [7]
Diaspora, (Greek: “Dispersion”) Hebrew Galut (Exile), the dispersion of Jews among the Gentiles after the Babylonian Exile or the aggregate of Jews or Jewish communities scattered “in exile” outside Palestine or present-day Israel. Although the term refers to the physical dispersal of Jews throughout the world, it also carries religious, philosophical, political, and eschatological connotations, inasmuch as the Jews perceive a special relationship between the land of Israel and themselves. Interpretations of this relationship range from the messianic hope of traditional Judaism for the eventual “ingathering of the exiles” to the view of Reform Judaism that the dispersal of the Jews was providentially arranged by God to foster pure monotheism throughout the world.
