Twitterstorians have done a great job of keeping me informed and thinking about how history connects to the present, especially in politics! 🤝😤 #whyhistorymatters #hist150 @sdsu_h100

I can’t believe social media dates back all the way to 1844! It’s cool to see how it has grown from the telegraph to coded apps on smartphones. I wonder what it will become and how people will use the history of social media to advance it @sdsu_h100 #whyhistorymatters #hist150

I think one important principle for engaging monuments is getting the entire picture, both the good and the bad, all sides included. “Pay attention to what they tell you to forget” #whyhistorymatters #hist150 @sdsu_h100 @JamesWLoewen

I think I’m drawn to museums because I grew up going to really interactive ones that keep you engaged. It’s like exploring time capsules from tons of different areas and times, you get to see what people at the time saw and used regularly. @sdsu_h100 #whyhistorymatters #hist150

@sdsu_h100 @TeganKehoe I think it’s primary focus is an educational institution involving topics like art and culture. Museums are a great way to learn about different cultures and their history! #hist150 #whyhistorymatters

I never thought about how the displaying of mummies and other things involving humans could he extremely unethical. I’m surprised I didn’t think of it before, clearly nobody consented and it is a controversial issue. @sdsu_h100 #whyhistorymatters #hist150

There are so many things I would categorize as torture that do not fit in this definition (waterboarding, removal of body parts, etc.). I feel like this makes some experiences of torture sound less valid and intense, though that isn’t true. #hist150 #whyhistorymatters @sdsu_h100

[Emma Flood @emma_sdsu]

I completely disagree with the statement “inflicting physical pain does not count as torture unless the interrogator specifically intends the pain to reach the level associated with organ failure or death” from the Luban article ... (1/2) #hist150 #whyhistorymatters @sdsu_h100

It’s interesting to hear about the crazy things women used to do to fit high standards and to appeal to men more, like foot binding. It makes me wonder what we do now that will seem outrageous in the future #hist150 #whyhistorymatters @sdsu_h100

[Emma Flood @emma_sdsu]

The “Merciful Maximus” scene from the Gladiator really struck me, I wonder how that would’ve gone over in actual Roman times. Did every single battle in the coliseum have to end in death, or were there exceptions? #hist150 #whyhistorymatters @sdsu_h100

The Ken Burns effect really sparks emotion from the viewer, adding an opportunity to connect and feel history in a more sympathetic way #hist150 #whyhistorymatters

This article made me realize how important it is that history is accessible for all. You have to understand where you came from and what your country goes through! a solid read 10/10

[Emma Flood @emma_sdsu]

I found it really interesting to hear that someone else noticed history often focusses on only a few figures and events from different times in history. It makes me wonder how much we’re missing/ how many holes in history there are. #hist150 #whyhistorymatters
