Scholars who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events. Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present. The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history. Events of the past prior to written record are considered prehistory. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What type of history would the Oregon Trail be considered? Q. Would it be social history? I know it's not diplomatic. Any historians out there? What are some other types of history? Asked by rascalgirl14 - Thu Nov 30 17:49:41 2006 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. Well, I'm much more into the social aspect of history than that of the political or diplomatic, but all three must be considered. There was a political dimension: the US was growing, and settling this area with US citizens was obviously more to our advantage than to allow it to be settled by others who might prove less than friendly toward our interests. There was a diplomatic one, as well--we nearly went to war with Britain over the Canadian border. Of course, the social portion is found in the reasons why people went there, and the interactions with the native peoples already in the area. It goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that the consequences for the Native Americans weren't necessarily good--people of the nineteenth… [cont.] Answered by Chrispy - Sun Dec 3 14:49:09 2006 What is the history of the engagement ring? Q. I was sitting here thinking about wedding and engagement rings (one of those random thoughts that pop into my head from time to time). I already knew the history of a wedding ring, but really didn't know anything about the engagement ring. What is the history behind it? How long have engagement rings been given? I always thought it was only something created by jewelry companies to make more money. Is this correct? Asked by Always Singing - Tue Dec 30 10:24:04 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. The earliest uses of symbolic rings are attributed to different peoples, including the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. Betrothal rings were meant to symbolize a woman s connection to the man who would become her husband, though the arrangement was more of a business proposition than a romantic union. Romans used iron rings to symbolize strength and permanence, and the Greeks are credited with the initial idea to wear the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand, where the vena amoris or vein of love was supposed to connect to the heart. During the ninth century, Pope Nicolas I endorsed the idea of engagement rings by making a gold ring a betrothal requirement to demonstrate the groom s wealth and ability to care for a wife.

Q. Can one study Roman history in a history department rather then Classics department??? I can't seem to find a school that has Ancient Roman or any ancient history as a curriculum. Any ancient history seems to be in the classics department. Am I looking at the wrong schools or is there not such degree as Roman history or ancient history outside the classics department. Asked by Scipio - Sat Jan 3 00:07:53 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. As you are (probably) American, and I am not, I cannot really give you 100% accurate advice. What universities offer in the history department varies greatly per university. The best thing you can do is inquire at your preferred universities, and go from there. Suppose your university only offers courses in the Classics department, ask them which university offers courses in the history department, and at what level/detail. They should know. Good luck!
