What can history teach us about possible ways to deal with the issues surrounding race that confront us today?

history can teach us the past mistakes theyhave done bbefore such as racism, segregation and wars. History also teachesus the contrast of one's ideoligies of how a society should follow: capitalism and communism. Some history teaches us how other cultures lived in a whole different way unlike the Western worlds ideal society.

It doesn't always have to teach us about ones past mistake, it educates us how people undertsand the world formations. An exampleof thisis Australian Aboriginals. Aboriginals were nomads who travels different areas in order the next nomads to use the land. This practice was done in orderfor nature to recycle and cultivated, never consumed all the land, only a protion of it. However the first fleet didnt understand the way the Aboriginals cultivated the land, instead the first colony believed that the natives should follow the 'white' way. Infact it destroyed the land and people. The aboriginals had a better understanding of preserving the land than the brits.

This can teach us in todays society by undestanding ones idea rather than rejecting it. Neither is right or wrong, its better listen and uundestandones point ofview.
