Historical Significance. Things are often considered to be important if they do something new, which had never been seen before.
The word ‘novelty’ means “the quality of being new, original, or unusual“. This is often the way that people from the past measured the significance of people and events from their own time. When an event or person was mentioned by the people alive at the time, it usually shows us that they considered them to be particularly remarkable. Therefore, looking for what was novel, or “new”, about a person, event, location or idea, is often a good way to decide why it is significant. Things from the past can suddenly be considered significant because people have realised that they are applicable to something happening in the present.

Stearns People live in the present. They plan for and worry about the future. History, however, is the study of the past. Given all the demands that press in from living in the present and anticipating what is yet to come, why bother with what has been?

It’s now on the lips of scientists and business leaders, education experts and political activists. But there is a vital question that few people ask: How can I expand my own empathic potential? Empathy is not just a way to extend the boundaries of your moral universe. According to new research, it’s a habit we can cultivate to improve the quality of our own lives. But what is empathy? The big buzz about empathy stems from a revolutionary shift in the science of how we understand human nature. Over the last decade, neuroscientists have identified a 10-section “empathy circuit” in our brains which, if damaged, can curtail our ability to understand what other people are feeling. But empathy doesn’t stop developing in childhood. RSA Shorts - The Power of Empathy. Syria: A Children's Crisis? Virtual Classroom — Faculty of History. MYP Humanities.
