Here the emphasis is on people and the roles they have played onthe world's stage, and how these people have acted and interacted tocreate what is known to us as history. Learning that peace can be maintained only through a sympathetic understanding and appreciation of the various cultures of the world's peoples, we can go out and make our world a better one in which to live.
