Just as last weeks reading centered around the narrative and the counter narrative around a particular event, namely 9/11, this week's reading deals with the issue of narrative as it is applied to the history of an entire country and the formation of national identities around these narratives. In places where political governance is stable and has a degree of legitimacy due to continuity and popular support, a national identity is more widely accepted. In a case like Hungary's in the novel, where
In A History of the World in 6 Glasses, author Tom Standage attempts to give a general overview of world history from by examining it through six eras each defined by a specific drink. Standage argues that beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola, influenced the course of history.

Throughout the six sections of
the best at teaching those virtues once reserved for theology--humility in the face of our limited ability to know, and awe in the face of the expanse of human history”. This is another one of Wineburg’s thoughts in regards to history. In other words, history teaches us that we have to be humble and never take anything for granted.

Some examples of historical trauma or intergenerataional trauma are the Holocaust or the occurrence in trauma amongst Native Americans. Recollection of the day the Baltimore
Sometimes history leaves out a few important facts that should be included in such. History within the planning profession shows us that, we too, can forget about those who shaped the profession even without mention. Leonie Sandercock highlights these important lessons that so many before have missed when planning history only focuses on visionaries and public figures who see planning as an activity and who do not merely focus on the process of the profession.

surveying of the structure, the 4,819-acre plantation it resides upon undergoes archeological evaluations, as well. When conducting an archeological survey archeologist will inspect the surrounding property to look for artifacts that may relate to the history of the structure.

my own ministry. I think that the study of Christian history has much to offer to the praxis of the Church. In modern Christianity, the subject of Christian history is something that is often neglected or if it is addressed it is done mainly during new member enrollment.

In order to answer the research question on how the European Union has enhanced the collective identity within the European Union by combating islamic terroristic groups, the term 'collective identity' has to be examined.
