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.

Answer:

heree u go :)

Explanation:

This speech is a primary source.

It is a primary source because it is a fragment from the event that was happening at that moment and because it is a direct expression of a figure that was active in such an event, i.e., women's movement.

The other questions are wrong because: there isn't such thing as a neutral source; a secondary source is a work of history produced by a historian that studied primary sources and analyzed them; as for unreliable, no source is completely reliable nor completely unreliable -- it always depends on what we are asking of it.

How did britain impact the colonies positively or negative
wolverine [178]
Well, Britain made everybody be the same religion as the king or queen, so we had no freedom of religion. We felt very restricted. They imposed too many taxes since they were in debt after the French and Indian War, like the Stamp act and Tea Act. And also, Britain required its residents to house British troops and their supplies, which was totally rude. Overall, Britain impacted the colonies negatively. Hope this helps (:

Which Supreme Court decision ruled that corporations can contribute an unlimited amount of money to political organizations as l
Bingel [31]

Answer: The correct answer is Citizen's United v. Federal Election

Explanation: In 2008, Citizen's United, a conservative group, tried to show a film about Hillary Clinton right before the Democratic primary election, to not only make her look bad, but to make her lose the election. The US Supreme Court got the case and ruled in favor of Citizen's United that corporations can contribute an unlimited amount of money to political organizations as long as they do not directly contribute to a party or candidate.
