In all European languages, the substantive "history" is still used to mean both "what happened with men", and "the scholarly study of the happened", the latter sense sometimes distinguished with a capital letter, "History", or the word historiography.(Wikipedia, 2012)<br />2. Why do we need to study PHILIPPINE HISTORY? What is the significance of history in the development of national consciousness of the Filipino nation? <br />We need to study our own history in order to know our rich heritage and learn from the mistakes of the past. As Confucius once said: “If you know the past you will divine the future, or as George Santayana would have it: If you don’t learn the lessons of history, you shall be condemned to repeat it. By knowing our history we heighten our sense of patriotism and nationalism as we learned the past of the heroism of our forefathers and martyrdom of our heroes. <br />3. Select one theory on the origin of the Filipinos. Who is the proponent of your selected theory? Discuss the details.<br />Dr.H.Otley Beyer, A famous american anthropologist. According to him, waves of people came to Philippines from Asian Peninsula, led by the Negritos,Indonesians and Malays. F.Lacanda Jocano, a Filipino anthropologist, also gave his own theory. According to him, the Philippines was once connected to the greater part of Southeast Asia.(Answers.com, 2012)<br /><br />Submitted to: Mr. Marlon B. Raquel<br /><br />Submitted by: Laila R.

Trace the history/development of the word HISTO...1. Trace the history/development of the word HISTORY. Where did it come from? Who coined the term? <br />“History (from Greek ἱστορία - historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation"[2]) is the discovery, collection, organization, and presentation of information about past events. History can also mean the period of time after writing was invented. Scholars who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events.[3][4] Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present.[3][5][6][7] The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history.[8][9] Events of the past prior to written record are considered prehistory.” (Wikipedia, 2012)<br />“Amongst scholars, the fifth century BC Greek historian Herodotus is considered to be the "father of history", and, along with his contemporary Thucydides, forms the foundations for the modern study of history. Their influence, along with other historical traditions in other parts of their world, have spawned many different interpretations of the nature of history which has evolved over the centuries and are continuing to change. The modern study of history has many different fields including those that focus on certain regions and those which focus on certain topical or thematical elements of historical investigation. Often history is taught as part of primary and secondary education, and the academic study of history is a major discipline in University studies.” (Wikipedia, 2012)<br />‘Ancient Greek ἱστορία means "inquiry" or "knowledge from inquiry", from ἵστωρ (hístōr) "judge" (from the Proto-Indo-European agent noun *wid-tor: "one who knows").[10] It was in that sense that Aristotle used the word in his Περὶ Τὰ Ζῷα Ἱστορίαι[11] (Perì Tà Zôa Ηistoríai "Inquiries about Animals"). The ancestor word ἵστωρ is attested early on in Homeric Hymns, Heraclitus, the Athenian ephebes' oath, and in Boiotic inscriptions (in a legal sense, either "judge" or "witness", or similar).” (Wikipedia, 2012)<br />It was still in the Greek sense that Francis Bacon used the term in the late 16th century, when he wrote about "Natural History". For him, historia was "the knowledge of objects determined by space and time", that sort of knowledge provided by memory (while science was provided by reason, and poetry was provided by fantasy). (Wikipedia, 2012)<br />The word entered the English language in 1390 with the meaning of "relation of incidents, story". In Middle English, the meaning was "story" in general. The restriction to the meaning "record of past events" arises in the late 15th century. In German, French, and most Germanic and Romance languages, the same word is still used to mean both "history" and "story". The adjective historical is attested from 1661, and historic from 1669.(Wikipedia, 2012)<br /><br /><br />Submitted to: Mr. Marlon B. Raquel<br /><br />Submitted by: Laila R.
