"An ocean of difference can lie between current worldviews (beliefs, values, and motivations) and those of earlier periods of history" (Seixas, P., Morton, T., Colyer, J., & Fornazzari, S. (2013). The big six: Historical thinking concepts. Toronto: Nelson Education.) But human beings still tend toward similar behaviours throughout recorded history. The process of learning about Historical Perspectives, is the process of unlearning what we, as present day humans, have come to know to be true about the world. Here, we look for evidence in the past of how particular historical actors behaved and attempt understand the ideas, geographies, and technologies that might have guided their thinking. Here, we also attempt to dissect the many perspectives that may have existed in the past. By exploring the variety of opinions and beliefs that historical actors might have held, we attempt to construct an understanding of the world "back then" without relying on ideas that are relevant in the present.
