Intro to CRC Unit: Take a Stand Directions: Explain whether you agree or disagree with the following statements. Explain your thinking and provide an example to support your opinion and help others understand where you stand. WRITE IN COMPLETE SENTENCES, paragraph format. The past belongs in the past and is not relevant to today. History is vital to our world today and we should discuss it. The errors and misjudgements made in the past should be rectified and then forgotten. (def, rectify: to make right) We can learn valuable lessons from history. We should not honor the past, especially if it honors something bad. Honoring and remembering the past means that you are not living in the present. People that want to take down monuments/statues have legitimate reasons for wanting to do so.
