Quelques réflexions sur le jugement moral en histoire La règle qui doit guider un prince, au lendemain d'une rébellion, dans le choix des rebelles à punir, est d'une parfaite évidence. Les meneurs, les hommes d'un haut rang, d'une fortune et d'une éducation élevées, dont l'influence et les artifices ont induit en erreur la multitude, doivent être l'objet de sa sévérité. La multitude égarée, au contraire, une fois que la bataille est gagnée, ne saurait être traitée avec trop de clémence. Interrompons ici la citation. La tradition de l'histoire moralisatrice, dont Macaulay est sans doute le représentant le plus remarquable, était autrefois fortement enracinée. Comment s'est produit, en histoire, cet abandon de la tradition moralisatrice, sous quelle influences, suivant quelles étapes ?

World History Welcome - The Flow of History Animation: Human Population Growth Over All of History Imagine that for every million people on Earth, there was a single dot on a map. In total, that would be about 7,600 dots – representing today’s global population of 7.6 billion. But, what if we went back in time, and watched those dots accumulate over human history? When and where do the first dots appear, and when does population growth ramp up to get to the billions of people that are alive today? The History of Population Growth Today’s animation comes from the American Museum of Natural History, and it shows over 200,000 years of population growth and the major events along the way. If you consider yourself on the more impatient side of things, we suggest starting at 1:50 which will zoom you to 400 AD – the time of India’s Golden Age. It took 200,000 years of human history to get to one billion people – and just 200 years to reach seven billion. Key Population Moments Agriculture The impact of farming cannot be emphasized enough.

200. Rocé: "Des problèmes de mémoire" (2006) Pour fêter les deux ans de l'histgeobox et la 200ème chanson étudiée, nous vous proposons une réflexion collective sur l'histoire. En effet, à l'heure où l'on débat beaucoup de la place de l'histoire et de son enseignement, il nous est revenu ce petit air lancinant rappé par Rocé en 2006 : "Des problèmes de mémoire" (Identité en crescendo). Nous ne sommes pas toujours d'accord avec Rocé, mais dans sa rage, il touche souvent juste, comme dans ce titre où il évoque les problèmes de mémoire en France. Le parcours de Rocé est singulier. "Des problèmes de mémoire" nous plonge en pleine "guerre des mémoires". (Si vous souhaitez accéder directement à une des parties, cliquez sur la partie qui vous intéresse) Histoire et mémoire« Chaque pays a ses victoires, même s'il a eu des défaitesMais pour cacher les défaites, on nous raconte des histoires » Chaque époque choisit de se souvenir ou d’oublier des parties de son passé. [Magritte, La mémoire, 1948] Qui doit choisir ce dont il faut se souvenir ?
