Perception
Perception is the way in which people view certain things. It's the the way something appears to someone. Not only the way they view it visually but all together. Perception impacts my understanding of history in many ways. I think history is very important and people should know why the world is what is today because of certain events. If my perception of history was that it was boring and there was no need to study it in school, then I wouldn't be interested in learning it and I wouldn't be putting in the effort into understanding it. The perspective that the movie was told in swayed my opinion in many ways,. It definitely helped me understand what happened and what the people went through because it was told in the view of someone that actually experienced what happened back in the day and stuff. No we wouldn't be able to tell the story of history if it wasn't told through a perspective at all. It would be a huge story of events that happened when no reason why, nobody would be able to tell us what happened after or anything like that. Someones perspective of something or someone could be wrong or right. A lot of people judge people because of where they come from or how they dress. They may have the perspective that someone is a gang member because they wear a red bandana when really it's just for fashion so perspective can be wrong or right it really just depends.

Using The Past
LEARNING
It's very important to look at primary and secondary sources when it comes to historical events for many reasons. Primary resources are more reliable then secondary sources because it's the actual thing. If you analyze both you will see some differences. Primary sources are old and proof that something actually existed. Secondary sources are information taken from other sources. So say someone had an article about the West Des Moines, Valley Tigers and how they were state champs this year., that was printed the following day. That would be a primary source. It wouldn't be the same thing as someone having a magazine and in the magazine is a photo of the newspaper talking about the football team. Most people are more likely too choose the primary source over the secondary source because it's the actual thing. Another primary source could be a story told by someone. Lets say if someone was telling a story about them being in WWII and their experience, you're more likely to believe them and actually understand how they feel. A Secondary source would be a teacher telling other peoples experiences from what she's heard from other people.
It's more important to know hot to analyze documents and what happened in history then to memorize dates for multiple reasons. First of all learning dates of Wars and events, really isn't teaching you anything or then when something took place. If you know how to analyze historical events you will learn a lot from it. You're learning what happened, why it happens, what events lead up to something, etc.
DOING
My Project was on women's rights and freedom. Back in the day females didn't have any rights, or freedom. The only thing they could do was stay at home and watch the kids while their husband was gone. That soon came to an end.
I found many articles explaining how women finally gained freedom from just sitting back at home and watching their kids. I found a secondary source which was a poster with a female on it dressed up in a marine sergeant's suit. From the poster they were trying to express, that people should come out and volunteer to help out the Marines, and it worked! "The Marine Corps almost doubled its strength with the addition of 60,189 men." I also came across a primary source that was a recruitment brochure. May 14, 1942 congress approved of a women's Army Auxiliary Corps for women to serve in noncombatant military positions. This way, it's more safe and they're more likely not to get killed. Also, the year of 1990 The U.S. Army had a recruiting poster, with a slogan "Army. Be All You Can Be." There's a female wearing a aviation flight hat, indicating females flying planes. So there were a lot of changes and females actually had jobs and a lot more freedom.

Netiquette
Netiquette
Netiquette is the way that people act towards others on the internet. In many ways it's showing your character and who you are deep down inside. The Golden Rule of Netiquette is "To do unto others on the internet as you would have done to you." It's similar to the phrase treat others the way you want to be treated. Showing respect and not cyber bullying is a way of showing good Netiquette.
It's Very important to use good netiquette at all time when on the internet. Using good Netiquette, you'll never have to worry about anything. You never know who's looking at what you post online, but it wouldn't matter if you're always posting good and positive things. Also anything you post online will will remain there forever. Even though you may erase anything you post it's never deleted. It will remain there forever. What you post online is also a reflection of you. So if you say bad and mean things to someone online you most likely will say bad things to them, in person.
