It depends on our individual make-up.  Some of us can remember a whole whole lot of what we're told.  Some can remember very little.  It depends on learning styles too.  Some people learn by seeing, some by touching, some by hearing.  Where does it come from?  Somewhere in our brains, but I can't tell you exactly where.

Hello.\n\nPersonally, I don't feel there are "too much" information. Certainly there are so much source of information that no one has time and capacity to read it all... But so what? It's like when entering in a large library: is it possible to read ALL the books there? No. Should we stop writing books? No.\n\nMy comparaison is maybe stupid but I feel it's something similar... Some source of information are simply repeating what better channel bring, some others specializes in scoop and fesh news, some others go more in depth, etc... Just like there are books for any level and any interest of people...\n\nThe "way of precessing it" is to see what you need to know, what's important to know.  Fifty years ago they had too many newspaper to read them all. So people were "chosen" what they needed. Same thing today. You will "miss" something for sure but so what... That's life!

This depends on what they teach, etc. It is public information. You can get it from the library at North Eastern.

What the Man wants you to know!\n\nIf it's from your government it's public information.\n\nIf it's from someone else's government it's propaganda.

We learn about our past to know who we are, Where do we come from and Why we are the way we are. The knowledge of the past lets us know the roots of our civilisation, the basic principles that guide our lives. The knowledge of past makes us aware of the mistakes our ancestors did and gives us an opportunity to avoid doing the same again. In order to plan ahead one must have the knowledge of the past, one must know what forms the basis of great progress, how great deeds were done, who did them and why did they do so. History makes us remember the sacrifices made by those who are no longer with us, it makes us appreciate the value of life and freedom. The knowledge of the past is like a guide, it helps us to rationalise things, judge between good and bad and to a certain extent it forms the basis of our faith and relegion.\n\nGeorge Santayana, the famous Spanish Historian once said about History :" Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.", to highlight the callousness of early 20th century governments about lessons from the past, Friedrich Hegel, a famous German Historian once said "What history and experience teach us is this: that people and government never have learned anything from history or acted on principles deduced from it."

That's a single data point.  I wouldn't assume that other country's systems are better without more information.  I think we just get firehosed with info when it happens in the US vs elsewhere.

That's an awfully general question.  The topic is interesting, however.  I think you're best off reading some books or Web sites, rather than getting the information from us folks. I mean, how much do WE know?    :)

It depends, you should give us some addational information... your provider, etc...
