Blog 36

There are two main examples in my research paper, the first one is about changing history books, and the second one is about plastic surgery. Mengtian already choose the plastic surgery, so I will write something about changing history for now. I’m not really want to choose this question because changing history is a problem than happened for a long time. Almost every country’s government changed a little history. It is not a timely topic. It is also not relevant. I do not know how to connect this topic with daily life. It is not my business, and I do not have that ability to change this fact. (Why I chose this topic??)
         The main ides about this essay is that many government change history books. Students are actually study stories in their history class instead of really history. There are two reasons for changing history. The first one is because governments think it is not right time to public the history. For example, government did research about Kennedy’s death, but they cannot public the result. Government need to wait and public the truth until all related people die. Russia usually publics parts of USSR’s history every ten years. Most of those history happened during WW, and have different stories. The second reason that governments need to changing history because they want to cover their old history. Japanese government changed history book so they can covered what happened in WW. It is funny that different countries’ history books have different descriptions about the same period of history.

  1. I agree, it is funny that there are different ways of looking at one period time from different countries. Countries try to provide various attitudes about certain things and countries through history books. It always makes me wonder what is true and what things the government hides from us.
