| Question: Popular opinion bias in historical events? Posted: 13 Oct 2014 06:11 AM PDT It is always difficult (and often futile) to apply today's morality to a previous era when trying to understand motives and actions. However, of the events you describe, the Nazis were instantly condemned by millions of average everyday people (as well as being supported by millions of the same). Few English, who bother to express or have an opinion on the matter, will condemn the king because they understand that the king was not the one who inflicted the injustices on the American colonists – in that case the king is singled out to represent the actual culprits, the Government, because it is politically simpler to explain the idea of rebellion against a monarch. And the South in the Civil War was condemned (and had been prior to the war) for slavery – despite the actual reasons for the war being broader than just the slavery question. I would also contest your view of the Romans. |
| Question: Before the invention of the Internet, how did people waste time at work? Posted: 13 Oct 2014 06:08 AM PDT At my place of work we're not allowed to use the internet at all, as it's a secure environment with no internet access permitted on our computers - just one stand-alone machine in the middle of the office for essential research. We're not allowed phones, tablets, etc, either. So we work. All day. 8.30am to 5.00pm. We earn our salaries and don't slack off at all. |
