121 "The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The
most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by
the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been
forgotten."
177 "It is primarily through formal education that a culture tries to
perpetuate the ideas it favors and discredit the ideas it fears."
Argument
127 Although black bears are common in the eastern Canadian province of
Labrador, grizzly bears — often similar in color, but much larger — were
believed to exist only in the western provinces. Despite a nineteenth-century
explorer's account of having startled and narrowly escaped from a grizzly
bear deep in the woods in Labrador, modern scientists find no physical
evidence that grizzly bears have ever lived in Labrador. But recent
research into the language and legends of the Innu, a people who have
lived in Labrador for thousands of years, reveals that their language
has words for two different kinds of bears, and their ancient legends
attribute different characteristics to the two kinds of bears. Therefore,
there probably were grizzly bears in Labrador, and the explorer's account
probably accurately identified the bear.
大家加油^^
