Include everything.. For the sake of history...

Should countries leave pieces of their history out, especially that which is negative, when documenting these stories? Explain.

 Countries should not leave pieces of their history out. They should include everything that has happened even though they might be ashamed of it. Teaching children what is untrue will lead them to believe lies. If countries do not include a part of history in their documenting, then these countries are doing what is most wrong for their population of young kids. By this students will be unaware of their past, and from their country's mistakes. If they did know the truth about the past, they would have a whole different perspective about their country or other countries.
