The past two days in class we presented our projects. Unfortunately our group ended up presenting first. I was pretty nervous because at the beginning you pointed out two grammar mistakes which made me wonder how many more mistakes there would be. I felt our group presented and explained our project very well and if it hadn't been for the grammar errors I think we would have gotten an 100. I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but I believe we had the best presentation because we explained well and didn't just read off the slides. Listening to some of the other groups presentations was painfully boring. Either the group literally read there project word for word or their explanation was so bad I couldn't even understand what point they were trying to make.
Today class was supposed to mainly be on taking notes on Greek mythology, but we got pretty off topic. We got off topic and spent most of class on questioning the credibility of sources. This started when students questioned if the Greek god's really weren't real and it was concluded there was no real way to prove there existence or disprove it. Then we started to broaden that to all religions. There is no real proof that God existed or didn't exist that is why people must have faith. Then we moved o to history where you said that history is written by the victors which means the civilizations who survived and passed on their history wrote about their history from their point of view. One example is if Germany won world war two, Hitler would be known as a great leader who defeated the allies and killed off the "evil" Jews. We concluded with that all these factors should be considered before coming to a conclusion on how history could have played out.
