History. It is the foundation of our grand human civilization and a retrospective account of our successes and failures. We as a human species have learned and are always learning from the past to ensure our survival. Yet, history has become perceived as rather mundane in our society today. Why so? Why is it that a subject with so much value to us in the past has become underappreciated in our modern society today?

In his talk, Peter, one of our talented speakers and an aspiring historian, will answer these questions and change your perception of history.
