Identify each statement as biased or credible. "When I visited the British Museum, I realized how wrong I was about the reign of
Julius Caesar. I have now reworked my ideas on this topic." —a statement made by a history student "I personally feel that Alexander the Great did nothing to deserve that title of greatness. Eventually, his pride caused him to fail." —from an article written by a historian "I believe that the Zhou dynasty in China should have ended long ago. The cruel emperors had no right to rule our country for so long." —a statement made during a historical debate "Hi. I have started this blog to share my views on famous historical figures. Feel free to let me know what you personally think about these famous people." —a quotation taken from a history blog
<span>Credible, because a historian student could have some idea on different topics, and then discover new information that eventually led the student to rethink their ideas. In particular, the sentence is credible because it is possible to admire several pieces in the British Museum related to Julio Ceasar. --- Biased. The sentence, while could be absolutely written by a historical scholar, should not be included in an article, unless the article is an essay where the scholar expresses an opinion, and even then it should be justified and not simply stated as it appears here. --- Biased. The sentence seems more probable to be said during a personal conversation of some sort, considering the personal tone of the statement, and the fact that is made considering only the speaker's viewpoint without any evidence to support the claim. --- Credible. While the sentence sure is not the best from an academic viewpoint, in a blog it is not usual to use a form of expression that is less codified than what is used in scholars papers. Moreover, it is credible that a historical blogger could want to engage its readers in that way, thus making the statement credible.</span>

If you study the declaration of independence closely, it us
clear that the declaration demands rights. And the oppressive regimes of the
world would be unwilling to grant those rights. In order to achieve those rights,
one will have to fight. And that will pave the way for war. It has become
evident now after centuries. United States believed in the rights and freedom
of the people. That had the U.S entering the world wars. All the wars after
that too, were basically based on this very idea. FREEDOM.
The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the wars expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.
