if you aren't a professor, teaching means throwing away the idea that the scum you're going to be teaching has any interest in the matter whatsoever.

elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, and high schoolers (at least in america) don't give a rats ass about anything in history, the males might enjoy periods of war but they'll quickly lose interest the moment you deviate away from battles and blood.

you will be disrespected, your job security is spotty at best, you will need summer jobs to keep a reasonable standard of living, and your wages will be abhorrent.

teacher training isn't what you should be worried about.

I'm British btw, so the security, summer, and wages aren't SO bad.

Canadian here - English major and History minor. I want to teach English, History, and Theatre in remote & northern Canada

I'm starting my Education degree next year. I'm very excited. I've wanted to teach my whole life.

I spoke to some teachers before applying and they said they are still energetic about their disciplines. Especially since their school divides classes based on subject material instead of by age (i.e. - you take Medieval History or Canadian History instead of Grade 11 or Grade 12, etc.). Keeping the classes fresh and avoiding routine is a challenge for them - you'll probably change up your curriculum every few years or so.

My unqualified and hyper-Conservative high school history teacher.

I had to read Capital in high school just to make sure she got facts right, and that probably was for the best since I can't remember giving a shit about history prior to that.

>>346267
Exact same OP, and watching history docs with my dad. Rory McGrath's Bloody Britain and Terry Jone's Medieval lives were the shit.

My favourite HH was the Twentieth Century one, which is still one of my favourite eras of history. Looking back its weird how well it covered things, I remember it covering Thatcheite urban decay with particular flair.

Because malaysia discriminates against ethnic chinese people whereas singapore is ruled by them and free from the historical baggage of mainland china.

>>345891
Singapore was the model for Deng Xiaoping's China, so yeah, it's a pretty good model.

1. It's a fucking city, not a country.
2. It's ruled by butt-ugly Fujianese and Cantonese Chinese who are the biggest Jews of Asia.
3. Having points 1 and 2 together is a recipe for success that cannot be duplicated anywhere else unless you have 1 and 2.

I think Rome couldn't sustain economically other wars

It quite literally took half of Hadrian's army years just to put down Bar Kokhba and his relatively tiny army of Hebrews.

How's he going to take on everything else?

>>345728
The expansion that Trajan made was unsustainable and Hadrian knew it. That's why he focused on defending the stuff they knew they could keep.

>Hungarians are the only counter-example I can think of that actually managed to do more and become a feudal kingdom
Bulgars as well

Hey, don't forget the Bulgars.
But I think a big part of it was that the steppes were so shit that they just wanted to get out

>>345705
>Hungarians are the only counter-example I can think
You're wrong then
>Ottomans
>Timuid-Mughal
>Jurchens
>Parthians
>Mamluk Egypt

Thinking outside the box is hard for some people.

Are you referring to moral absolutists or moral relativists?

I wouldn't say it's "so commonly accepted".
IMO the most common morality, at least in the west, is a sort of vague deontology based on empathy that accepts some degree of situational ethics. I guess you could contrive that as absolutist in a way, but it's a far cry from something like divine command theory. I also know many cynical people who are moral nihilists. Despite the conservative meme, I can only point to a sprinkle of actual moral relativists, they tend to be inconsistent with examples that are taboo enough in their own culture.

Liberum veto.

>>344706
BS. It was a symptom no the cause. A symptom that the power shifted from the nobility into the hand of the few superrich magnate families. It was magnates' clients who used the veto.

The true cause of PLC's decline was the economic decline of the middle landed nobility who held the magnates in check and provided the bulk of the statesmen and political class.

Adolf Hitler was crazy, he had an irrational hatred towards jews and killed 6 millions of them.

Caligula was a good leader and in no way crazy.

I believe that Nazi genocidal ideology was rather a incredibly cynical cruelty rather than plain insanity. What was insane was the fact that the massive amount of resources were wasted for that genocide during wartime while the German economy was overwhelmed by that of the Allies.

A ti, Señor glorioso, Padre que en el cielo estás:
Hiciste el cielo y la tierra, al tercero día el mar,
Luna y estrellas hiciste y el sol para calentar,
En Santa María madre fuiste Tu carne a tomar
Y en Belén te apareciste conforme a tu voluntad.
Pastores te glorifican, laudos te van a cantar,
Llegan tres reyes de Arabia que te vienen a adorar
Y que se llaman Melchor y Gaspar y Baltasar,
Oro, incienso y mirra ofrecen con toda su voluntad.
A Jonas salvaste Tu cuando se cayó en el mar,
A Daniel de los leones también te fuiste a salvar,
En Roma la salvación llevaste a San Sebastian,
Liberaste a Santa Susana de aquel falso criminal,
Por nuestra tierra quisiste treinta y dos años andar
Enseñándonos milagros que nunca se han de olvidar
Hiciste vino del agua, de la piedra hiciste pan,
A Lázaro resucitas, porque así es tu voluntad.
Dejaste que te prendieran, luego te dejas llevar
Al Gólgota y en la cruz te dejas crucificar,
De tu cruz a cada lado sendos ladrones están
Entra el uno en paraíso, pero el otro no entrará
Desde la cruz gran milagro hiciste, Padre eternal,
Longinos, el ciego aquél, que no vió la luz jamás
Con su lanza en el costado te hiere y te hace sangrar
Va la sangre lanza abajo, con sus manos hubo de untar,
Alza las manos Longinos, y se las lleva a la faz
Abre los ojos y a todas partes se pone a mirar,
Desde entonces creyó en Ti, se salvó de todo mal
De la tumba en que te ponen supiste resucitar,
A los infiernos bajaste porque fue tu voluntad,
Rompes sus puertas y sacas a muchos sntos de allá
Re de los reyes Tu eres, Padre de la humanidad
En Ti creo, a Ti te adoro con toda mi voluntad
Y a San Pedro ahora le pido que a Ti me ayude a rogar
Por el Cid Campeador, que Dios le guarde del mal.
Y que si hoy nos separamos vivos nos vuelva a juntar.

De la iglesia se salieron y prepáranse a marchar
El Cid a Doña Jimena un abrazo le fue a dar
Y Doña Jimena al Cid la mano le va a besar
No sabía ella que hacerse más que llorar y llorar….

Except the Japanese for a couple years, but they're cool now.

They have the lowest crime rates in the whole fucking country you know.

It's not unique to mainland China at all despite popular misconception.

Go to Southeast Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America or Eastern Europe.

Basically any country on this planet except western Europe or Japan.

Hell, even America has places full of rude people.

There's a whole bunch of theories out there that I can't really eloquently describe but the main theories I've heard are:

>Peasants too used to having to bend strict commie rules to get by so they become innately self-centered and rude because that was the only way to get what you wanted back home
>Chinese wealthy are almost all Noveau-riche assholes with no preceding standards for etiquette + Chinese culture being being on flaunting what you got

Mainland Chinese manners are infamous worldwide. Even Chinese-majority nations like Singapore and Taiwan hate them for it.

>Mainland Chinese manners are infamous worldwide. Even Chinese-majority nations like Singapore and Taiwan hate them for it.

It's called Yellow Peril racism and it's not new. It's been around since the 1800s senpai.

If you read up anything written by white supremacists about the Chinese exclusion act or China, you'd think they were talking about modern day events.

Sassanid was where Persian culture was thriving so that.
