I think the most important connection between world history and current event advocacy is the fact that history repeats itself. I think a lot of people always say oh well why is history important and someone would respond with well it's important because history doesn't need to repeat itself. And yet we are taught history but repeating the same mistakes and having the same problems. I think that history can be taught but it needs to be understood. The same problems such as racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and religious discrimination. SO I guess that's the connection I can make, people say things about history yet it still happens today. I think the most important idea or concept I gained is that anyone is able to make a difference in the world. I always had the mindset that since I am just a teen me avocading for something doesnʻt mean anything because people wouldnʻt believe me. I think if I can do one small thing people my age or even older could potentially follow along and start a change. Social media is so important because we have this instant connection people will be able to connect and spread information so much more quickly and efficiently. With that being said that can change the way a lot of people get information and understanding about it. I think this is an amazing way to get solutions for things we think are wrong. Works Cited
