History is an important area of study because it will lead you into mythology. Mythology is important because it teaches us the principles necessary for life. Howard Zinn is one of the great historians because he gives us the reality of a situation from the perspective of all who are affected by an event. Zinn will tell you what the indigenous people of what is now called the U. S. were like before European invasion and after. Other historians only give the European devastators view of the U. S. After reading Zinn you will view every situation from multiple views. Having a multi view of situations will help you to develop full relationships with people as well as the natural world.
