Welcome to Barazani's How Did We Get Here Wiki

"History is a myth we all agree to believe". (Napoleon) "History . . . is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind." (Edward Gibbon, member English parliament, author of A History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) "Only a good-for-nothing is not interested in his past." (Sigmund Freud) "Who controls the past, controls the future; who controls the present controls the past." (George Orwell) "History does not repeat itself except in the minds of those who do not know history." (Kahlil Gibran) "History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possess, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes." (Karl Marx) "History is understanding how we got here." (Barazani)

JOIN the wiki. Below is the series of steps you will need to follow in order to join.
 * To access most of our wiki features you must**

1) Make sure you have a professional educational email. This is an email that clearly indicates your identity to the recipient. Email addresses like bubblegirl1234@yahoo.com mean little to me and will be deleted without being read. An email like joneslucy@gmail.com indicates the identity of the mailer. __As you apply for jobs, college, etc., having a professional email will be valuable__. If you don't have a professional sounding email already I recommend creating a gmail account through google. It is free, and will provide convenient access to many of googles powerful web tools (set up an account with google and then a gmail).

2) Go to wikispaces.com and sign up for a wikispaces account. Create a **username** that identifies you to others that know you, but does not use your full name. For example my username is barasu. **CHOOSE A PASSWORD YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER!!!!!** If you already have a username from another class, keep that identity, but feel free to change your email to your professional email using your account settings found at the top of the page.

3) Now refresh this page and click on the "join this wiki" link in the upper left corner. You will be prompted to send me a message. In this message please include your full name and class period. Within 48 hours I'll accept you as a member. You will also be asked by the wiki to confirm your google email. You must do that if you want to be able to contact me and get an answer through the wiki.
