I've been super into European culture for as long as I can
remember, but today I read this section on medieval Europe in my AP
World class and I was shocked. For the first time I'm being
exposed to history in a non-euro-centric light and after spending 2
and 1/2 months as such, looking at the same materiel I've seen
since sixth grade, just doesn't seem the same. I'm amazed
at how self-righteous they all were (especially about religion!)
and even more how often they thought they were the first to come up
with an idea, when they weren't. I'm not saying Europeans
suck, or that our views as Americans in teaching "World"
history are off, it's just for me personally, this was an
eye-opener!
You learn something new everyday!
