I have never studied latter twentieth century history. I have a huge gap of knowledge between the end of WWII and 1998, when i first started actually caring about the news and world events. I have been hoping I would simply absorb the information from others, but it hasn't happened, so i think I'm going to have to research it myself, gather my own information. already, just having read a short history of the sixties, I'm astonished at how much happened in that decade compared to others. However, I get the feeling that the oughts (is that an appropriate way to describe 2000-2009?), is so far just as event crammed. great things happened in the sixties; certainly, the advances in the civil rights and women's liberation movement improved the nation, but what did the Vietnam war and the assassinations of JF Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy do to us? how similar is this decade to that, and what good does it do us to compare? this is why history is important, because so much behind us will help us deal with today and tomorrow. the most difficult part may be applying old lessons creatively enough so that they help us to solve new problems and not copy what has already happened.
