In your search for information on life in ancient Greece you find a web site with lots of direct quotes from Socrates and Aristotle. The site has photographs of their homes and their cities, and even has photographs of these men in
their Halloween costumes.
How would you use information from this web site?
A. You could use the direct quotes from Socrates and Aristotle, but not the pictures because they did
not have cameras back then.
You could not use any of the information because the site appears to be a joke.
C. You could put the quotes in your own words to use because you are not sure
that they actually came from Socrates and Aristotle.
D. You could put any of the information in your research paper as long as it was in
your own words.

It me to understand the world and my place in it. for example, (and i know i’m using the terminology ‘historical perspective’ loosely here; some of my examples may be better termed an ‘evolutionary perspective’) knowing that all humans can trace their ancestry back to a common ancestor who lived in southern ethiopia ~200,000 years ago makes me feel connected to everyone on the planet. knowing that some of our ancestors left africa about 70,000 years ago and interbred with more archaic hominin species in europe and elsewhere, me to see the stupidity of white supremacist ‘purity of the race’ themes. seeing how religion was used to enslave people, and how callously lives were thrown away by those in power in the world wars of the past century makes me feel extremely fortunate to be living in the modern era. and, perhaps most importantly is that this knowledge makes me for the sacrifices our ancestors made to get us to this point, and determined to do my part to make the world a better place for the next generation.
