I think the most important connection between World History and current events would be the fact that History repeats itself. Like BLM is connected to slavery. (kind of, idk how to explain this without it sounding weird) Although POC are no longer owned as slaves, they are still beaten and abused, not by their owners, but the police. We even had this conversation 50-ish years ago with Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement. Mankind never learns, and thus History repeats itself.
I really like the concept of “Even you can cause awareness and create change” that they keep pushing so much. This might just be an idealized version of it, but the thought that a normal person could change the world just feels nice. This affects how our generation will create solutions to problems, we’ll cause awareness and solve problems through creative activism. Using the Internet as a platform to connect with people all around the world who care.
