Studies Related To History

Studies Related To History


Which of the related studies will I find the most interesting?


History is the science that studies the human past. But it also have studies that are related, such as geography, cartography, economics, psychology, anthropology, sociology, demographics, political science, linguistics, and archaeology. The most interesting studies for me are psychology and anthropology. I like psychology, because I am impressed of the power of the human mind. I think it is very interesting and I want to know why some people act how they act. An example a murderer, why he killed someone? What was he thinking and feeling when he killed the person? Another example can be the mentally ill, what causes their illness? I find all those questions very interesting. Actually I am serously thinking to study somenthing related to psychology. Now about anthropology, I find it interesting just because I like history in general, and the anthropology studies the origin and development of the cultures. I also want to know how they lived, how some cultures did what they did (the pyramids, Stonehage).

Types of History


Which type of history do I will find the most interesting...




History is a very extensive topic. There are different types of history: the political and military history, the social and cultural history, and the specialized histories. The one that I think I will find more interesting is the social and cultural history. Why? I love stories, I enjoy them a lot. I like when the teachers tell us about their expirences and adventures. When a history teacher tell me about someone's testimony I love to listen to him/her. I am interested in the way of living of the people of the past centhuries, in the way of think of those persons and in how they felt. The stories that I like the most are the ones of tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, wars, etc, what I like of those stories is that people helped each other in those situations. One of my favorite stories is the earthquake of the 85 that occurred in Mexico. I liked that story, because the people made all the rescues, they didn´t wait for the goverment's help, mexicans were helping each other. 
Going back of why I will find more interesting the social and cultural history, I will find it more interesting, because social history studies the experiences of people. The only part that I do not really like is that this type of history uses a lot of statistics and records of births and deaths and all that kind of stuff. I consider that as boring.

Something about me...  


My name is Julia ........... This is my first blog ever, I am doing this blog because its part of my grade in my history class, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy writing things in my blog. I like to write, I think is a really good way to express what you think and feel. When you write people won't judge you, because you aren't face to face. It's a more comfortable way for me to express my opinion. It feels very exciting when you are writing and suddenly a stroke of inspiration arrives to you. Well I have written a lot about my liking to writing, so I will start now to introduce myself. first of all the mainly information: ....................... I am mostly intersted in science, I love scince (specially physics), I also like anime (the japanese cartoons), doramas (korean dramas), the black novel (the one that is about murders), movies (comedy, thriller, action), and the theater (I enjoy a lot the musicals). My favorite food is the lasgna, I also love the pasta, pizza, and baguette (just the natural bread). I like to read, but I don't do it frequently, maybe because the book that I'm reading is not that interesting. My favorite book is Septimus, it's about a magician. I read it in 4 days, it has about 450 pages. Another gthig that I enjoy to do is to draw, but one thing that I don't like of my drawing is that I am pretty bad doing personal creations, but I copy very good (I watch an image that I liked and I start to draw it). Now talking about music, I like and enjoy music, but I'm not very musical. I use to listen to music occasionally. My favorite gender is the spanish/mexican rock and the romantic ballads. I do like music in english, I like Bon Jovi, Guns'n roses (a little), The beatles, etc; but I prefer the music in my language, because that is how I will truly understand the message of what I am listening to. To finish all the speech about me I want to say that I am still working in me, because I haven't finished to know me.
