History

I am convinced that most people just don't understand History, or the impact it has on today. Many Taiwanese will tell you that they hate History, but, still you would think that they would have some concept of it. Today, in my class at the University, the topic was, "Who, in your opinion, are the 5 greatest people in History." I was expecting kings, rulers, emperors, scientists, evil men, or incredible breakthroughs. Some of the answers? The Bee Gees, Bruce Lee, Creator of Doraemon, Jackie Chen, and Bill Gates. I was wondering if the Telletubbies were going to be on the list.......
