Question

How does the historian affect history?

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. The bias of historians will affect the way they record events

Explanation:

History is considered as the study of events especially events related to human beings and mainly described using written documents, as the study of the past before written documents existed is called prehistory. These events are usually recorded, collected and interpreted by historians, however it is questioned whether historians are objective, this means they record the events in the way they occurred or whether they are guided by bias, which means historians might focus on specific events and let other out or let their values, perspectives and beliefs influence on their job. Thus, historians can affect history negatively if they are not objective but let bias affect the way they record events.
