TOPIC HISTORY

Should confederate statues be taken down?


Statements

Statement Type Title Description Proposed Probability Author History Last Updated
STATEMENT Destroying parts of our past will not make what happened in the past any better.

When we destroy our history, it shows that we cannot realize the mistakes we have made as a country. We should remember things that we have gone through and make sure not to make the same mistakes.

STATEMENT The philosophy remains the same

In ancient times, the symbols of a generation were its buildings, statues, paintings and books. When another generated wanted a change, they destroyed all the above objects and put up their own.

Today, the symbols are mostly digital. We believe in taking down social media posts and websites and any digital evidence of something which we dont believe in anymore.

This is cultural evolution. It is always a cycle-  a wave starts, rises up, reaches its peak and then dies down to be replaced by another wave.

STATEMENT Yes, History is Objective

Yes I agree history should be objective, which is exactly why Confederate statues and all other memorabilia should be taken down and placed in a museum. There are better ways of actively recognizing our history than "honoring" those who have tried to subvert the very ideals of this nation. Does one see statues of Nazi leaders when visiting Germany? Statues should be erected of people that have contributed to the greatness of this nation, not those who waged war against and sought to destroy it. Confederate memorabilia and statues should be displayed in a museum so people can reflect upon the past of the country in an objective manner.

STATEMENT Removing statues will not stop reminding us of the confederacy.

We hear about the confederacy everywhere and I do not think that removing these statues will make us not remember that time of oppression and hate.

STATEMENT Taking down statues does not change history

If we do a biased judgement of the entire history of mankind then there wont be any history left because everybody will find something to take down based on their sense of values and justice.

 1.0 Amit Display Details 2020-06-28 03:42:59.0
STATEMENT History should be objective

History is only complete when you mix the good parts with the bad part. Confederacy may have been bad but it is still a part of American history and it would be foolish to omit it just because a certain section of people find it offensive.

Learning only happens when you analyse both good and bad. History should be objective, not selective

STATEMENT They should be taken down

They should be taken down because they remind us of a time where there was a lot of oppression and hate. These statues also indirectly hint that this was a good thing. However, this is not the case

 1.0 Avaneesh Details 2020-06-26 22:00:17.0
STATEMENT Confederate statues should not be taken down because then we are actively destroying our history.

No, they should not because then actively destroying our history.
