Politics and History.

 I just realized why I don't want to be a politics major, although politics are something i'm extremely interested in. I don't want to study them solely because people who study politics are just that, good at politics. Politicians shouldn't be political, they should especially in a democratic society, be the voice of the people. People don't want political backstabbing or personal interests, they want the politician to be their voice in the world most don't want to deal with. Studying politics and the ins and outs of how to be a politician is something that I feel leads almost directly to the corrupt higher ups we hear about today.

I want to study History, why? because History shows us what went wrong, and what went right. It gives us the tools to better ourself as a society. History is a warning to the future. To me at least, History is the most important subject that could be taught, it gives up something more than just the mechanics of Math, then the explanations of Science, and the eloquence of English. History gives us insight to every single event that is happening in the world. It's the subject of someone of those who want to help the world.
