The gathering cooperates in light of the fact that they are completely inspired by very similar things. The gathering is additionally ready to draw on the experience and intelligence of every individual part. The gathering has a higher potential to accomplish its objectives in light of its more grounded capacity to learn and to cooperate.
One of the significant preferences of being in a gathering is that there are regularly different individuals from the gathering who are similarly as inspired by the gathering as you seem to be. These individuals might be your rivals, and that may even be acceptable. Then again, in the event that you don't have any opposition in the gathering, you can be companions with every other person unafraid of being surpassed.

Her Story?
History is written by the victors"
—Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
The titled responsion is, "Her Story?" What follows is subject to interpretation. What are your thoughts?
Many people believe that the events of history are the result of the actions of the winners, and nothing else. The reality is, history is written by everyone, not only the winners. It is true that many times in history, governmental and private agendas have sought to erase other historical interpretations that did not fully support the desires of those at the top. But this point is equally true for every aspect of our modern world.
For example, during the Cold War, the United States government sought to prevent any criticism of their actions by those that the victors had previously conquered, including their human rights abuses. They even went so far as to remove documents from the United States Library system which reflected these past wrongdoings. In many instances, the United States was successful in preventing people from reading history. The victors did not want to share their mistakes with future generations, but this did not stop them from trying to control the narrative.
We see this same pattern in the history books and the movies; we read about the victor's perspective and forget that the victor has written the history. The victors are the ones who write history. If you want to know how history is written, just take a look at what happened at the University of Michigan.
A decade ago, Michigan students demanded that the University of Michigan History Department stop teaching classes that taught a view of history that was "white" and which did not reflect the experiences of other groups that occupied the nation. Students were upset that the university's courses did not accurately represent the experiences of the native Americans or the Black Americans who lived in Michigan State. When the university resisted by calling the demand an act of intolerance, students took matters into their own hands.

The students of Michigan called on other students to create white history books to teach about the achievements of white people in the past. These books were then given to the class of graduating seniors. This act of rebellion was actually successful because many professors refused to give out the white history book to any of the graduates who signed up to take the class.
Because the school had chosen to teach a white perspective, they fell into the trap of reinforcing the victor's view. This in turn made the University of Michigan History Department looks bad and created a lot of controversies. There were people who felt that the school was trying to teach a white view of history. These individuals began calling on the students to write their faculty members to call on the University to fire the professor who was teaching the class, because of his inability to deal with the situation.
While the story of this particular faculty member has gone viral on the Internet, there was a time when people thought that they were actually trying to hide something. It became clear that the professor was right, and he would likely be fired if he was not fired. The problem with this scenario was that he was teaching history. The University of Michigan History Department did not take this as a sign that it was okay for him to teach the black perspective of history.
The professor, a former president of the American Historical Association, told those who complained about his teaching that his teaching methods were not racist because the United States was founded on a mix of white and black people. He pointed out that President Andrew Jackson had been a slave owner but was elected to the office because he helped the African American community. His views are still respected, and he continues to teach history at the University of Michigan.
