What subject starts with "H" and has been dreaded by me since I was 10? History!
At the beginning of this school year I marched confidently into
the glorious hall of our schools looking at all this poor people who were about
to spent entire year learning about long and for most parts boring events and
failures of dead men and here was I. The happiest person it this school. Well,
at least that is what I thought until I discovered thrilling and exiting parts
of IB that I was warned about but somehow I missed all of the warnings. Anyway,
I managed to deal with the difficulties of an average IB student and then...
History happened. To me more precise tok lessons involving History. I will run
through the subject of history briefly since I can't pay attention to it. Here
we go.
On that lesson I realized how bias is our history. During WWII the
amount of propaganda existing all over the world made it hard to tell what
really happened during some events. For example, photographs were manipulated
in a way that if some figure occurring on one photograph was not beneficial to
the whole event it was erased and people who were not present there and just
known the event from the photograph can still live to this day in lie. Al off
the tok lessons made me think about how easy it is to manipulate other people
and I think I started develop trust issues when it comes to the things I learn
at school. Also I know now that the problem with changing someone’s mind when
the idea is heavily rooted in that person's mind is not only my problem, but
the widely occurring issue. And this is why war happens and why society gets
divided and racism and basically a lot bad things in history happened because
people couldn't cooperate.
