  1. They say justice is blind , but that is not true . justice was never neutral .

    I have read for people who wants history to be re-written . They think it is distorted . Just imagine what will happen if someone said good things about Hitler , Saddam or even Mohamed . On the other hand , imagine someone said something bad about George Washington , Shakespeare or even the Jews and Israel .

    There is no way that history can be cleaned unless the people can say the real facts in public with no fear .

    That's the role of bias on the writing of history .


  2. 1. Bias - Each group of individuals is going to interpret history according to their background and social norms.

    Black v White, Men v Women, Americans v Iraqis

    Each culture is going to write history as they perceive it. You can take an African American and a Caucasian...have  them write about the Civil Rights Movement and you're going to receive two entirely different papers. Which one is the correct paper? To discuss history correctly, bias no place in the discussion. If Caucasians mistreated African Americans in the past, admit it...that's history.

    2. History is the story of mankind (past , present and future) and how it's documented. To interpret history, we must be willing to admit our failure's. Unless we can do that, the same mistakes will be made in every generation.

    3. you're on your own.
