Question: Which do you think is a better roadmap of history artifacts of the humanities (art, music, dance, theatre, literature, philosophy, architecture, etc) or political/military conflicts? Why? (from Twitter)
I think things such as art, music, dance, and literature are a better road map to the history artifacts of the humanities than political/military conflicts. This is because the things like music and dance are constantly changing and reflect the time period and style of the years. Also, in the very beginning of time, there wasn't much fighting or political issues occurring. But there was always a record of literature and architecture that we can learn from. Art and music and very important facts of how the world has progressed and is easy to follow these changes. Architecture is another easy thing to follow because it's not hard to see how the style and building ideas and structures have altered over the years, kind of just like humans. Over the years, they will continue to change and people will easily be able to compare it to the years before.
your right with your view on history. i have the same beliefs.
