: Storyteller- Nothing just happens you need cause and effect: you must think what caused this to happen or what did this do, If you can contumplate these thing you will be adle to us history to your advantege.

History is made by the poeple

: Scienticet - Reasearch understand what happend, and what they were thinking or feeling . they also have to reaserach and gather evidence

Our Understanding of what happened in the past is always a theory

: Lawyer - making an argument, gather evedence and persent in argument

Arguments help us to enteprit history.
