It is 3 a. m. and you are late getting home. as you approach the intersection you notice that no one is around. do you drive through the red light?

Explanation:

You wouldn't do this because first of all a crazy driver could come hit you second it's against the law third there could be a cop waiting and finally there could be a camera

No!! you never do that! why? well you never know if there is a pedestrian that you cannot see and its still against the law soo... dont do it  

Explanation:

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
