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?
I think that both of these make up the roadmap of history. Most of the time, when there is not a war, the country focuses on the arts. History is made up of Golden Ages when the country is at its best, and wars when the country is at its worst. Without literature, we would not know anything about the war. I think that many people would say war without thinking, but being a theatre girl makes me support both sides of this question. Sure people might make a bigger deal about what is going on in Egypt and Afghanistan then they make out of Broadway or a new artifact found, but all of them are a part of our lifestyle. When you look at the history of a country, there will be a mixture of war and art. I think that as teenage girls, we are more focused on the artifacts of the humanities because it is what we are interested in. The guys however, are probably more interested in military conflicts. I do think I might be biased because of my involvement in the theater. My cousin Matt is currently training at West Point. He is one of the guys who focuses on war rather than the arts. I think political conflicts are very important. Looking on what is happening in Egypt now, it is the government vs. the people. My friends have family living in Egypt, and they are unable to find out if their family is safe because of the phones being shut down. War and political conflicts are important in creating the road map of history, but the arts are also important.
