Why should we be forced to deny to our children that history is full of ugliness and death. It is also filled with splendid tales of heroic deeds, and other moments that defined human beings. Perhaps historical fiction graphic novels would be better than our traditional history books when it comes to conveying this to young people.
Such a novel is actually a comic book. Using comic books to relay events from the past, utilizing the same colorful language, exciting character development, and dramatic effect just might allow us to make young people understand why the world is the way it is. More than that, comic books have always inspired young readers to really Be-Somebody when they grow up.
Young people who grow up reading comic books are often inspired to become physicists, scientists, and astronauts through their reading. Science, mathematics, and quantum theory all comprise the backdrop of many of these stories. When the readers realize that these technologies are being developed, it ignites their souls.
Making history as fascinating to young people as the future just might change the whole spectrum of thought in a single generation. If young people were able to connect the information they learn in their textbooks to the events they experience in their lives, then the future changes. This connection of past to present has been denied us in our education by teachers who have no vision themselves.
When we make history as exciting as science fiction, then we create a connection in young minds between past and present. Memorizing lists of dates, names, and events never taught a student anything meaningful. However, a colorful novel filled with images of the real pain, suffering, and glory of humanity makes this information stick in way that creates an impression.
No one would suggest that our history be taught in such a manner that one would give it an NC-17 rating. However, the watered-down, hoarse-dry version being taught in schools today teaches them very little about how mankind has arrived to this point. It fails them by failing to give them the information they need to connect history with current events.
Modern historians and researchers are seeking to reveal truths and allow radical new theories of our origins that rock the establishment to its core. This information can no longer be hidden from the world, but our educational system still fails to keep up with these changes out of dogmatic fear. Their disgrace should be engraved on their gravestones.
It is not merely the ignorance of our past that condemns us to repeat, but misinformation taught to generations of our young. When all students from all nations can connect past events with current events, then they are empowered to create a better future for themselves. If we deny them this power, then we deserve whatever future we get as punishment for letting them down on a worldwide scale.
