For the former, there is frequently a perception in which history is tedious and not fully relevant for the student today (Johansen, 2014, p. 245). For the latter, it is always beneficial to understand what techniques are influential within one's particular sphere of interest, and the author offers a variety of assignments to help engage students in the understanding of history.
The article begins with the author providing a terse overview of her own challenge of teaching history to college students. She swiftly comes to the primary thesis of this paper, and one which is worthy of consideration for both pedagogues and students alike -- history becomes alive again, and takes on full meaning, when it is conceived of and elucidated at the individual letter. Johansen (2014) notes that when considering the perspective of the individual in history, the discipline as a whole "provides an endless supply of the riveting stories of men and women struggling to cope with a changing world" (p. 245).

This is not always the case. Some may be educated and economically well off, within particular fundamentalist sects, but use an idealistic vision of the past to provide a solution to what they see is lacking in the contemporary world. This was true of the Muslim Brotherhood of 1929, which used religion as part of its ideology of colonial resistance -- and is also true of many of the

The French in particular, as they are to this day considered to be one of the greatest losers of the war (and the most important battle field of the war) were in desperate need of men to reconstruct the country. Therefore, the immigration policies changed and allowed for an increase in the labor force flow. More precisely, "due to a perceived demographic insufficiency and labor market needs, the French government
Rather than continue the process that began in the first two books, in which the Rosicrucian Order first announced themselves, gave their history, and then responded to certain criticisms while making their position within Christian theology clearer, the Chymical Wedding can almost be seen as the first instance of literature written within the Rosicrucian tradition, rather than as part of its manifesto-like founding documents, because it does not seek to
