I blame the teachers. Many people who love history don't realize that they are unique and think everyone will identify with their love- NO, kids in school need big attention grabbers and there are so many of those in history...teachers just fail to use them. I am 20, history major and I still find some topics of history incredibly boring and even some history books I've had to read, I've found terrible- just so dry with facts..What I love about history, is making the connections, analyzing the facts, not just recollecting what happened and when it happened. I especially love to study things like people's attitudes and everyday life in the past. Social movements that made a big difference in people's lives really amaze me. I still find many 'history buffs' who love to know the facts but that's all they care about..especially those who like military history which i absolutely despise lol. I'm a double major with sociology and I have to admit sociology is more my thing but history is still pretty awesome and goes hand in hand with sociology. But I definitely see how people could hate history.Originally Posted by Misty8723
