How is your understanding of history different from

what is explained in the video presentation?
 My understanding of history is that it is the study of
the past – specifically the people, societies, events
and problems of the past. I learned that in history, in
order for us to know the present, we need to look
back the past that happened, and the video
presentation explained that history is an art and
science which first investigate and then records it’s
casual relation. In the video presentation, I’ve learned
the origin of the word history like “Historie” is a Latin
word which means “inquiry”. “Histoire/Istoire” is a
Greek word which means “investigation”. “Histor” is a
French word which means “wise man”
