Politics / Legendary Historians: Meet Those That Shaped The Nature Of History by Yungbliss(m): 9:44pm On Dec 05, 2023 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OaoYfKrNmo Now let's talk about the definition of History. People tend to see history as the story of the past, while others see it as the study of the past itself. We want to explore how historians defined what is history. Many historians have defined the concept of history in different ways that suit their perspectives. But before we delve into the definition, let's take a look at notable historians that have shaped the nature of history. List of few notable historians Herodotus: wrote Histories, which established Western historiography. He is regarded as the father of History. Thucydides: wrote Peloponnesian War; an Athenian Historian and General; He is the the father of Modern History. Xenophon :an Athenian knight and a student of Socrates. Niccolò Machiavelli: an Italian Renaissance philosopher and diplomat. He is the author of The Prince.

He is known primarily for his Parallel Lives. Ibn Khaldun: a Sociologist, Philosopher, and an Arab Historian. He is regard as father of Historiography, and Sciences of History. Livy: a Roman Historian. Livy's most famous work was his history of Rome. Polybius: a Greek Historian of the Hellenistic Period. He is noted for his work The Histories, a universal history documenting the rise of Rome in the Mediterranean in the third and second centuries BC. Arnold J. Toynbee: he presented history as the rise and fall of civilizations, rather than the history of nation-states or of ethnic groups.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Q8Q9xI2qs Etymology of History The word history comes where the Greek word was borrowed into Classical Latin as historia, meaning "investigation, inquiry, research, account, description, written account of past events, writing of history, historical narrative, recorded knowledge of past events, story, narrative". History was borrowed from Latin (possibly via Old Irish or Old Welsh) into Old English as stær ("history, narrative, story", but this word fell out of use in the late Old English period.Meanwhile, as Latin became Old French (and Anglo-Norman), historia developed into forms such as istorie, estoire, and historie, with new developments in the meaning: "account of the events of a person's life (beginning of the 12th century), chronicle, account of events as relevant to a group of people or people in general (1155), dramatic or pictorial representation of historical events (c. 1240), body of knowledge relative to human evolution, science (c. 1265), narrative of real or imaginary events, story (c. 1462)". It was from Anglo-Norman that history was brought into Middle English, and it has persisted. It appears in the 13th-century Ancrene Wisse, but seems to have become a common word in the late 14th century, with an early attestation appearing in John Gower's Confessio Amantis of the 1390s (VI.1383): In Middle English, the meaning of history was "story" in general. The restriction to the meaning "the branch of knowledge that deals with past events; the formal record or study of past events, esp. human affairs" arose in the mid-15th century. With the Renaissance, older senses of the word were revived, and it was in the Greek sense that Francis Bacon used the term in the late 16th century, when he wrote about natural history. For him, historia was "the knowledge of objects determined by space and time", that sort of knowledge provided by memory (while science was provided by reason, and poetry was provided by fantasy). |

Felixv: You're right. The truth is that most local companies still underpay those that are in Tech. Imagine paying a UI/UX designer the salary of a graphic designer. That's why I said everything boils down to finance. It's only foreign companies that pay better, and even though you want to work remotely, it's hard to get a dream job as a Nigerian unless move to a developing country. 1 Like |

Devdevdev: You are right on the first two lines. It's because I'm not from the Anglo-Saxon origin, therefore, you don't expect me to write, read nor speak like His Majesty and his subordinates. "Determination and Dedication isn't enough to write efficient code..." Sit down and ponder on the rubb.ish you typed as an English literate. Who raised you, that you could not differentiate between singular and plural? I knew that you are a product of t0rn c0nd0m, sooner or later, will display your stvpidity here. Yes, coding needs "natural intelligence, aptitude for logic and critical thinking", but do you have any of the listed? The word "easy" is always relative and has semantic ambiguity based on individual's thought patterns. Few persons that are learning Cyber Security, which I know neither learned computer science nor mathematics. This shows how deluded your brain is. I've never written a code does not mean I will not. Poultry farming is a lucrative business, and even those that ventured into had given up at a point. 'A word is enough for the wise'. From where comes the Wisdom? I've finally met the first idiotic being this month. |

KrazyDave16: When people say you can't learn Cyber Security or Cloud Computing in three months. I agree. I want to use Tech to supplement for Masters, which I believe it will be profitable compared to the latter. Therefore, my Tech skillset is a long term journey, not a three months programme. I know I will have challenges, most importantly, in finance, but man should not run away from challenges especially if it's worthwhile. |

Felixv: Ok, My field is based on Arts and Humanities, which I focus on History and International Studies. I had ambition to proceed for Masters,just like almost of my friends, but I had a second thought. After Masters, wouldn't I be looking for a job which I know will only earn me a meagre salary? That's why I opted for Tech. I've tried to research on different Tech Skills like UI/UX, Blockchain Technology, Software development, IoT, Data Science, AI and even Product Management. My area of concentration revolves on Cloud. This is the reason I mentioned Cyber Security first. In Cyber Security, it's not that I want to study everything, I want to 'dwell' on Cloud Security, which I was advised to do Cloud Computing to make it more meaningful with a pinch of Big Data (collection of Data). When people say you can't learn Cyber Security or Cloud Computing in three months. I agree. I want to use Tech to supplement for Masters, which I believe it will be profitable compared to the latter. Therefore, my Tech skillset is a long term journey, not a three months programme. I know I will have challenges, most importantly, in finance, but man should not run away from challenges especially if it's worthwhile. 2 Likes |

Devdevdev: Thanks. I would have said you're putting up a challenge on me, but I won't say it cus it doesn't worth responding. Unless Nigerians have not learnt cyber security, that's when I would have been panicking. Writing a code and mastering different programming languages are matters of determination and dedication. Pro code writers are not on nairaland, so rest |
