6 Word Story

Miners, stay alive, remember your birds. 

Typical Stereotypes

I think stereotypes are so widely known by so many in our nation, because of the environment we live in. For example, we go to school everyday and meet up with our friends, most commonly at lunch. As you sit down at your usually table I can guarantee you probably sit with the same group of friends everyday, who share somewhat of the same interests as you. Now you may not look at it this way but everyone around you does, such as if you are a football player, and you sit with other players, most likely people will call your groups "the jocks." Same goes for cheerleaders, theater kids, and even those in the band. Now there are also stereotypes on the races of people. I believe that too is grown from your environment, and even how you are raised.

"That government is best which governs least"

I Agree with Thoreau who said, "that government is best which governs least," because a government that is used soley for one particular purpose usually prevents chaos that could possibly come from it.

History does matter

I believe history matters in the world, without history how would we be where we are today? If we did not know our background research, we would be reliving past problems over and over again. History helps build who we are, for example if there were still no woman rights, we would not have these amazing ladies leading us today, or helping us in times of need.

What is the lie commonly agreed upon?

When Voltaire said "history is the lie commonly agreed upon," he meant that anything written in a history book could be a lie, but because it is a written document everyone assumes it must be accurate. The truth is our very own history books are written by the winners of every event in the past, do you honestly think the winners are going to bad mouth themselves? For example in ever war you only get the winners perspective, because by the time history is written the losers are dead.
