Bell Hooks Quotes:
"I always get pleasure from movies as long as I did not look too deep."
"Even in the worse circumstances of domination, the ability to manipulate one's gaze in the face of structures of domination that would contain it, opens up the possibility of agency."
TikTok:
"Jones explains that the personification of countries in historical events is helpful in understanding intention and gives a boring textbook subject some personality."
The key thing from this quote is how students are making learning more interesting to them. Topics like philosophy and politics have so many prerequisites, it would not be off to say that learning about them can bore the most sporadic and careless age group: teenagers. I myself enjoy learning about history, but with it's many obstacles I'm glad to see that teenagers are using social media outlets to promote the study of history, albeit in an abridged format.
2) "She says that the videos are largely historically accurate, but even if they weren’t, they work as a useful historical tool."
As mentioned above, anything to spark interest in history is a win in my book. However another important thing needs to be addressed. Where are these teenagers learning this information and who will correct the inaccuracies. While the article claimed everything after an event can be considered an "interpretation", there will always be some facts lefts ignored for determined historians to reveal and hopefully they too will trickle down onto these influencers.
