Or history in general….

WHY STUDY WORLD HISTORY? “Without history…there can be no

future” “You can’t move forward without

knowing the past” “Those who do not remember the

past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana

“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” – Maya Angelou

Do you agree with any of these quotes?

Why or why not?

SPORTS HISTORY…

PRIDE…COMES FROM HISTORY

G.O.A.T. (GREATEST OF ALL TIME)

Florence Griffith Joyner (aka Flo Jo)

Set world record for 100m and 200m (track and field) in late 1980’s…still stands 100m = 10.49 200m = 21.34

FASHION FANS???

For Us By Us = this fashion brand was a response to racism

SURVIVAL / REPUTATION How do you know where to find food? How do you know what is safe to eat? How do you know how to eat/cook it? How do you know what is a safe location

and what is not a safe location? What would you do if there was suddenly an

Why do I drive a Honda? Why do I choose NOT to try and drive down

“The Strip” at 10pm on a Friday night???

MOTIVATION TO IMPROVE…

“…to be the BEST” = Set album sales / win awards

Technology = Records (vinyl) > 8 tracks > Cassette tapes > CD’s > Downloads (I-Tunes)

CATASTROPHES (TRAGEDIES)…HOW CAN WE PREVENT THEM?

Approx. 16,000 deaths and $300 billion in damages from a tsunami that hits Japan on March 11, 2011

30ft.+ waves hit the shores of Sendai, Japan (go outside and look up at the roof of the school…that’s about 30ft.)

WAR…IT CONTINUES THROUGHOUT HISTORY…BUT WHY??? IS IT WORTH IT?!?

MAYBE ONE DAY…WE WON’T REPEAT OUR MISTAKES… 800,000+ killed

in Rwanda in just 100 days…that’s 8,000 people a day!!!

Over 21% of Cambodia’s population (approx. 2 million) is killed in just 4 years.

YOU MIGHT BE THINKING ONE OF THESE QUOTES RIGHT NOW… “I thought that The Holocaust was the only

genocide…” “What’s a genocide?” “Uh, this is messed up…but I doubt I could

make a difference…” “Dude! History really may be important for me

to learn!” “Holy Cow Poo! I want to do something about

this now!!!”Link to the Do Something Now teen
