Poll results (Week 7)

Do you think historical events should be censored?



Do you think historical events should be censored?

75 % of the respondents agreed that historical events should be censored because as a citizen we need to know the history as our knowledge.
12.5% of the respondents agreed that historical events should not be censored because as a student we need to do past references regarding past history for our studies.
12.5% of the respondent agreed that historical events should censor because some bad events in history can be influential to the younger generation.

From the poll analysis, this can be concluded that majority supported that the historical events should be revealed and not censored for knowledge purposes. As citizens, we have the right to know the past history of our country. It is pathetic if we actually got to know our heritage and history from people of another country. The young generation needs to know the 13 May, 1969 incident so that they would understand and appreciate multi racial unity and national security.

Of course, historical events should not be censored as students need to research from the past history for their studies. For example, researcher needs to know the exact happenings and what have driven human to react in that situation. This is actually a study on human behavior. For instance, till today Japanese never educate their young generation about their propaganda and violence towards the people while conquering the world. This create curiousity among the teenagers in not knowing their roots and history.

Many disagreed that revealing the bad events of historical events can influence the young generation negatively. The era has changed that people these days are open-minded to the things they see. The problem or trials that occured in history can be an important or meaningful lesson to be learnt in future. History helps us to not repeat our mistakes again. It is the time to make changes and improve for the better. After all, nobody want to repeat our past mistakes if it is negatively.

It is actually the perspective that we look in. Glancing into the positive perspective, take history as the opportunity to learn to improve to be better. It is the moment that we can change our past mistakes and presson for the future.

Please leave your comments.
Happy holiday! Cheers =)
