No, but we were at a time forced to take it, as if it was our own history. Its your choice whether you take a world histories class or not, we didnt have a choice. There was a sad time when a canadian couldnt not name the first primeminister, but could name over 5 US presidents. Not anymore, now its an optional thing for us, but I mean, that just shows that america forces its pride down everyone elses throat. Or at least it did. At least now other nations (france) have the balls to reject that kind of supremecy

I gurantee that it was the Canadian gov't that put that in schools, not ours. And as a whole, every single student has to either drop out or take world geography and world history....so it is "forced" upon us.

Makes perfect sense to me, the past guides the future. So why not understand the past so you can excel in the future (ie: capitalism)? I think most people bitch about it just because they thing it's boring, which I can sort of agree but there is some sort of a purpose for it. |
