Week 9 (blog 8) reply to Eric

I really liked your inclusion of the quote about history repeating itself, I think that's very true. You talked about how there are generations of people who are ignorant to the actions of the United States and I see the danger that you have pointed out. I think that it's vital that we as Americans truly learn our history, both the good and the bad. Ignoring our wrongdoing doesn't only hurt others it hurts us as a country because we can't learn from our mistakes. We have been told our whole lives that the United States is the best country in the world but if we truly want to be the best we need to accept our failures and improve upon them.
