Question

Why is important to teach about different perspectives of History?

Answer 1

☁️My Answer☁️ and ✧My Explanation✧:

Every account of history is from a human perspective. Even history textbooks, which are trying to be objective, show us what the writers value by what they include, what they leave out, and how they frame their historical accounts.

The particular benefit of first-person accounts of history—and the importance of fictional thought experiments like the novel Kindred—is in the subjective human perspective. In primary sources like letters, diaries, and oral histories, there is no pretending that one is capturing the whole story. It is a very specific story. But it is through the combining of many specific stories that we are able to see a clearer whole.
