History

Ofcourse. History can never be neutral. Writing history is necessarily retelling of a past event. Thus the mental pre occupations of the writer is bound to influence the writing.

Historiography is tricky and complex task which includes debates and disagreements among different schools. The historical sources such as archaeological, numismatic evidences, epicgraphic and literary texts does not always give a direct image of the past society from which informations could be mechanically plucked out. Rather its gives a refracted image of the past from which actual facts are needed to be teased out.

There are also chances of interpolations of ancient texts, distortion of evidences due to the ravages of time and misinterpretation of the contemporary texts. All these can influence the writing of history .

Another vital factor that needs to be considered while judging the authenticity of a text is the background of the writer, the sources to which he was exposed,the patron of writing and his affiliation to any particular ideology and motive of writing .

A good historian must eliminate any biasedness and distortion of facts while writing history. But it can surely be subjctive.

What were the extreme actions of the revolution
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

There are several things that the people do during the French revolution that might be looked down upon today. Even though most people who live at that time period will see them as justifiable.

Examples:

- Many of the nobles who were deemed as responsible for the bad situation in France were tortured before they're killed.

- Many of the revolters believed that they should ended the Nobles' line of heritage. They feared that in the future, the children will initiate a revenge and took back the power. Because of this, many of Noble's children were also executed.
