The reason why History has been the most disliked subject of the student is the presence of irrelevant and misleading facts and information in the contents. History is a study of past fact. Had history been taught with real fact without any manipulation, it would have been a lot of students’ favorite major. Till now, whatever I have learned about American History, I have found that the Americans who were involved in the History, all their works were somehow exaggerated, and they were highlighted as heroes. Most of the contents in the History books are based on religions nowadays. Schools and colleges have been highly influenced by politics and religions. In most of the public school, Bible has been a subject and it was said that everything that Bible said is true.
What I was taught about Woodrow Wilson is that he was one of the national heroes of America. But I was never taught about how he was. I was quite shocked knowing that he was a racist.
Hellen keller was one of the greatest personality during her time despite her disability, but I was never taught that she was a social activist and had her own way and belief.
