Intro 🎩

Hey there, budding historian! Ever thought about how our understanding of events changes over time? Just as the latest TikTok trend changes by the week, so does our perspective of history based on new info and changing values. Let’s dive in!

Historical Development in a Nutshell 🕰

  • It's a key criterion in ToK's knowledge framework used to differentiate areas of knowledge.
  • Think of it as recognizing that our knowledge isn’t static; it evolves, much like our favorite Netflix series. The plot thickens and shifts based on new seasons or episodes.
  • Example: 🧪 The way we look at natural sciences now is not the same as the 1920s. Back then, atoms were the smallest things. Now, we know about quarks, leptons, and Higgs bosons!

Why Does Our Approach to History Change 🔍

  • New Subjects: Over time, we study different subjects. One day it’s the Roman Empire, the next it's the intricacies of post-colonial Africa.
  • More Info: As we discover more documents or evidence, our understanding evolves. Think of it as unlocking a new level in a video game!
  • Current Values: Our modern beliefs and values tint our glasses when we look back. If the past was an Instagram photo, our values would be the filter!
