Quotes

Quotes

"In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity--it is a prerequisite. And yet, we have one of the highest high school dropout rates of any industrialized nation. And half of the students who begin college never finish. This is a prescription for economic decline.

So tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It's not just quitting on yourself, it's quitting on your country. That's why we will provide the support necessary for all young Americans to complete college and meet a new goal: By 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world."

- Barack Obama, 2009 State of the Union address

• History- Originates from the Greek word historia, meaning

"inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation”. It is the study of the past, specifically how it relates to humans. It’s a term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and examination of information about these events.

- The people who write about history are called historians. - Events that occurred prior to written record are

considered prehistory.

What is History?

• World History examines the history of multiple cultures and nations from a global point of view.

• World history looks for common patterns that emerge across all cultures. World historians use a thematic approach, with two main points: integration (how processes of world history have drawn people of the world together) and difference (how patterns of world history reveal the diversity of the human experience).
