The story of mankind is created every day, but it is told through history. It is only when he looks back, that he realizes how far he has come. History has been instrumental in shaping the present and most likely the future of humanity. One of the greatest flaws associated with history is its inaccuracy. The inaccuracy is not, however, because of lack of information but because of the prejudice and perspectives that are captured by most historians (Woolford, Andrew, Jeff, and Alexander 43). Information is abundant; the only problem is the indifference that people show to the available ...
