Abstract : History is the study of the past, principally how it relates to human beings. The term relates to past events as well as the remembrance, discovery, collection, organization, presentation and understanding of information about the events. The study of history has been condemned as a stumpy intellectual activity that encourages meager regurgitation of names, dates, places and events. It is regarded as dead, dusty and buried. This is a parody of Elton. Elton affirms, “The future is dark, the present burdensome. Only the past, dead and buried, bears contemplation.” Others have dismissed it as all relativist.
