Through the process of unpacking the Save our History campaign, I
have been finding out some interesting facts about what exactly this campaign
does. My views although have been a sort of robotic semi-passionate, to trying
to find ways to implement myself in the campaign locally or nationally. The
importance of history can be seen every day and sticking to the original
position that I had in the early part of the semester still stands. The most
alarming things I have learned are the simple facts of history that most
Americans don't know. The amount of people who fail simple citizenship tests
who have lived here their whole life. The new tactic of educating the youth
about America in the classroom is a different yet effective way to preserve the
knowledge of the American idea both past, present, and future. As far as
in the classroom or in the book that I've learned to help me understand the
messages better could be such things as Maslow's theories, celebrity endorses,
educating, Marshall McLuhan's understanding media as it relates to the commercials
and media outlets. Other things including but not limited to framing and how
the "frame" big business for ruining some historical sites,
transportation model of teaching when running educational TV in classrooms, and
the 5 steps to prepare when it pertains to setting up arguments to save a
particular landmark.
