Importance of heritage Tradition is an important part of many people’s lives. There are those people who follow traditions every day in their life but not noticing them as much. On the other hand, there are people that custom and tradition is above anything. They can’t imagine themselves not following their customs.

Xenophon's Anabasis is a history of his experiences from 401 BC as one of almost 13 000 Greek mercenaries hired by Cyrus of Asia Minor in his ill-fated attempt to overthrow his brother, Ataxerxes, king of Persia. During this expedition and later campaigns, Xenophon came to know many
events or social conditions which have occurred in history. Attitudes, ideas, tendencies, and themes are interwoven into the story without distorting past reality or manipulating historical facts to make the novel more interesting or exciting. Therefore, I argue using a historical fictional novel can be a useful source to teach history. “All Quiet on the Western Front” is a wonderful teaching tool as it provides an unusual insight into the history of World War I because it is written from the perspective
others seek refuge in other countries, becoming refugees. Many Middle Eastern and North African countries especially have many experiences of terrorism and government corruption, leading to refugees flooding into the nearest safe house: Europe.

The United States are recognized worldwide as a land of immigrants and immigration. In fact, its history and its sociology are marked by over 400 years of immigration.

“head-butt[ing] him for no apparent reason” (Ahmed, 2015). This experience is unique to people of color in Italy. Italy has long been known as an extremely racist country, and that is shown even in recent history. When Cecil Kyenge became “the first black cabinet member in the country’s history,” she was told that she looked like an “orangutan” and had “bananas thrown at her” (Marinelli, 2015) all due to her race.
