What is problematic with viewing history as simply "the study of great men?

Social Studies

Allushta [10]3 years ago

"The great men" who, according to this view,  are behind the events in the history never actually work alone: they are the product of their times and are supported by many people. For example, people could see Napoleon as having a great influence on the history, but without his followers, Napoleon would not have the impact he had. So the problems with only considering the great men is that 1) we omit many other relevant people 2) we have only a shallow understanding of the past 3) we don't understand how the social opinions shaped the deeds of those great people

How did christianity's ethical principles help it spread?
borishaifa [10]
<span>Christianity's ethical principals promoted acceptance of god into ones heart to cleanse yourself of sin, and live an eternal life. For a variety of reasons the savior story format used in the bible indicates that people resonated with hope, forgiveness, kindness, and generosity. This could have been an internal response to the perhaps brutish world depicted, where forgiveness may have seemed somewhat out of reach. The theme of sacrifice is also proposed, which worked for the ruling class, who fancied themselves as superior, god-like, and the working class peasants, who probably needed to think they would die and do something better than farm potatoes.</span>
