HISTORY
History examines the processes that have made today’s
realities. History is an evolving record of emotion,
aspiration, frustration, and success. Historians deal with
the goals, fears, interests, opinions, and prejudices of
people in the past. What made people the way they
were? What is the impact of their thought and action on
people today and what is their impact on people
tomorrow? As a study of people, history offers both a
necessary understanding of one’s place in the human
experience and the conceptual framework for a lifelong
avocation.
