History is Narration, Not Objectivity

Modern historical narratives inherently involve selective framing and interpretation, undermining any claims to complete objectivity. While individuals may perceive their approach to history as scientific, it often reflects subjective storytelling. This dissonance creates a tension where people believe they are engaged in objective analysis, yet they are actually constructing narratives based on personal choices and existing sources. Awareness of this distinction is crucial in understanding how history is shaped and perceived.
