History is the study (teaching) of the past, with special attention to the written record of the activities of human beings over time. Scholars who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it often attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events. Historians debate the nature of history and the lessons history teaches. A famous quote by George Santayana has it that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history.

Asked by Omagus - Mon Jun 23 08:46:06 2008 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments A. History has usualy been written by the victors, but in this age of communication - especialy the internet - that's becoming harder and harder to pull off. Plus, it's very difficult to see who the actual victors are in this one. What happened on 9/11 was a tragedy that caused untold suffering for thousands of people.

I can't speak for how it will be viewed in America, as there seems to be more of an isolaionist viewpoint persued there (not by all Americans, that's not a diss to them, but by the government and media).
