What I found interesting the Wineburg\u2019s reading was how he was quick to address the issue at hand with today\u2019s society. Wineburg argues that historical thinking is not being done properly in the more recent time. One of the examples that he decided to use was a fourth grade textbook, Our Virginia, Past and Present<\/em>, which incorporated a concept that has been rejected by all historians in the field. The reason for such a claim was made in the textbook Wineburg argues could be done with any person. In today\u2019s society, Wineburg makes the point where one thinks going to the library means turning on our laptops and making sure that we have a wireless connection (Wineburg, 14). Wineburg addresses that when it comes to research on the Internet, anyone can make a website without authorization so the information there may not be proven but people are sometimes fallen to believe that it is; whereas a physical library has more archives that comes from someone of authority, historian for example. That is not to say all information on the Internet is inaccurate, especially with the more frequent use of the quantitative history. JUANROSASMP<\/a> has mentioned this before in his argument, there are non-academic people who do not share in the same love for history, which could lead people to gathering the wrong information. Wineburg at the end of the writing gives some tips on how to identify whether the online source could be relied or not, which is similar to how it is done on the physical works of those of authority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
