Synthesis+Essay



The Hegelian Dialectic claims that one idea (a “thesis”) encounters another idea out there somewhere in the world, and the dynamic opposition from the collision of these two unlike ideas results in a completely new idea – a “synthesis” of both influences that owes much to thesis and antithesis yet is completely new. **In a carefully reasoned essay that acknowledges both //thesis// (anti-history essay) and //antithesis// (pro-history essay), please explain your own opinion on whether the study of history is worth your time or now.**

Use your own considered opinion and your best words – acknowledge the opinions of others (quoting their own words), while explaining what you think personally think. //**Do you think it is worth your time and energy to study history? Or is it not worthy of your precious time and energy?**// Why? Why not? **EXPLAIN!**

Mr. Hegel wishes you good luck on this in class celebration of learning.
