In History 200 I hope to improve upon my analytical skills when writing a paper. I have a problem when it comes to developing my own thoughts. Not that I have issues with plagarism rather I tend to use quotes from others because I feel that my message is not clear or even strong enough for the reader to understand. From what I've heard about this class and from reading the course syllabus it seems that this aspect will be covered and I am looking foward to improve in these areas and possibly more. I could also use some help in coming to a conclusion in papers.
As to why I like history...I guess I enjoy looking at the ties of past events that can be seen even in today's politics. For instance take the new formation of the Tea Party...well not so long ago (mid-late 19th century) the formation of the Populist Party was founded on nearly the same reasons as the Tea Party. This type of knowledge (ability to realize the repeating of past events in today's society) I believe offers a different view of the world and its interactions.
