History seems to be more popular than ever with the public. Progressive and postmodernist scholars have questioned the uses of history. Nonetheless, history remains a central feature of the school curriculum for these reasons: -History shows us what it means to be human. -History improves judgment. -History provides instructive examples. -History makes us better thinkers. -History supports common cultural understanding and dialogue. -History satisfies a need for identity. -History gives pleasure. -Studying the past is preparation for the future. 2003 Michael G. Maxwell Teaching history and geography: The goal of education Combining history and geography The nature of history Why teach history? What to teach How to teach Learning and thinking A note to new teachers "The student who reads history will unconsciously develop what is the highest value of history: judgment in worldly affairs. This is a permanent good, not because "history repeats" - we can never exactly match past and present situations - but because the "tendency of things" shows an amazing uniformity within any given civilization. As the great historian Burckhardt said of historical knowledge, it is not 'to make us more clever the next time, but wiser for all time.'" -Jacques Barzun

Home About Us Sitemap Our Program ... Health Care History Housing Korean Phrases Language Martial Arts ... Living in Korea FAQs The History of Korea Han-gul (The Korean Alphabet) Traditional Clothing Religion Korea is an independent country with a history going back millennia. Because of the country's strategic location on the Asian continent, it has been invaded over and over by powerful neighbouring countries. Nevertheless, the Koreans have somehow always managed to maintain or regain their independence. Korea was under the Japanese colonial rule for 36 years. Korea was finally liberated from Japanese rule at the end of World War II - but only to become entangled in the fierce ideological conflict that led to the formation of two separate states in the north and the south, divided along the 38th parallel. In 1950, North Korea launched an all-out attack on the Republic of Korea, triggering the Korean War, which raged until 1953. The devastating conflict was ended by an armistice agreement that established the De-militarized Zone (DMZ) that now divides the Peninsula. Top of Page It was almost a decade after the end of the war before the Republic of Korea had recovered sufficiently to establish stability and start the momentum for its now remarkable recovery and development. During the sixties and seventies Korea succeeded in developing the economy and during the eighties the people's wish for democracy was achieved.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] Intro. Modern World History Exam Questions Date: Fri, 26 May 1995 16:54:22 -0500 FROM: Dan Segal, Pitzer College dsegal@bernard.pitzer.edu A few weeks ago, I posted the final examination to an introductory modern world history course that I co-teach with Lora Wildenthal ( lwilden@pitzer.edu ) here at Pitzer. Around the same time, I was also writing examination questions for history honors candidates at Swarthmore College, which relies on outside examiners for its honors programs. The following questions were written for the examination in a field titled "Europeans and Others Since 1750"; the Swarthmore students had studied this field with Pieter Judson ( pjudson1@cc.swarthmore.edu ). As before, I think these examination questions encapsulate what I regard as important themes, issues, and problems in modern world history. The students had three hours to provide written answers for any three of the following six questions. The field you have prepared is entitled "Europeans and Others Since 1750." What important transformations have occurred in the relationship between "Europeans" and "Others" during the time period you have covered? What continuities have there been? What periodization scheme, if any, would be useful for organizing the history of "Europeans and Others" since 1750? What reason(s) are there (if any) for treating the time around 1750 as a historical baseline, or contingent beginning, for the study of "Europeans and Others"?

This genre is perhaps an interesting way to get at different notions of formulating world history courses, and examples of the genre are perhaps an intersting resource to share. In any event, here is the final exam we gave to our students this morning for a one semster modern world history course ("The World Since 1492"). The students received a study guide some two weeks ago with a larger set of questions; the final is drawn from their study guide. THE WORLD SINCE 1492 Final Examination I.
