about how different people envision things.
Frames
of Refrence
Patterns, chronolgy, sequencing, and the identicicationof
historical periods have a lot to do with frames of refrence,
well more thanyou think anyway.For example, a white person
of completly European orgin would have a different view of
a certain time period than an Indian, Oriental or an African
person would.A white person may envision the 1600's as time
when trade and empires were devolping and the Renaissance
was fading, or a time when many people were beginning to move
to America to find freedom.
Indian
An Indian person may envision the 1600's as time when their
culture was still very enviromental: living in tepees, wearing
animal skins, and killing thier own wood.An Oriental person
may envision the 1600's as a time when people wereinvading
their terriotries looking for trade and the once-powerful
Mongol Empire was weakening.
Africa
An African person might envision the 1600's as a time when
their Europeans were invading were a lot like the Indians:
very enviromental and not alindustrilized. Or it might be
it might be envisioned as a time when slave trade was very
powerful.
