Research Question
What habit of mind should a reader use in order to learn history?
INTRODUCTION:Today, people have been taking action on different topics more than
ever; as a result, students have much more of a variety from getting
information needed. This may not be a good thing in some cases.
Sometimes people's thoughts lead to actions; so if people's thoughts
are based on stereotypes, then their actions will be rooted on false
ideas about people. If readers are more cautious about evidence that
a historian give them, then they'd probably pick up on information
that is wrong. If readers can understand that if a historian's
information is based on their own opinions (not supported by
evidence) and stereotypes, then they can understand how evidence
plays a significant role as readers. If the spread of false
stereotypes can discontinue, it will decrease negative activities
and/or violence. For example, if a historian presents an action based
on a negative stereotype on a specific group of people the people
being offended will most likely fight back. But if we get readers to
realize how important evidence is, they'll analyze and question the
action more and see if the information being given is correct.
