Introduction
History is the study of social life in the past, in all its aspects, of new developments and
future expectations. It's the story of a man in time, an investigation of the past based on
facts. Indeed, the proof is the raw material of teaching and studying history. It's a survey
of what happened in the past, when it happened, and how it happened. It is an
investigation into the inevitable developments in human relations in the past and how
these developments shape, impact, or decide society's ways of life. History is, or should
be, an effort to rethink the past. Collingwood (1945) has a special interest in this idea of

into five categories: linear: cyclic, spiral, turbulent, eclectic. As also the importance of
history and the study of history.
