Summary:
History, art, literature, society, culture, socio-economics and film all have in common one thing - they all involve people – whether a historical figure is the cause of a major event, whether it is a work of art for others to enjoy for generations (such as a film), a book that educates or entertains succeeding generations by recounting history or providing a glimpse into how society lived at the time of its writing. History recounts the events, educating us into how a society functioned and its social and economic structure. A work of art (including film) is tangible evidence of a society and its impact on culture. Socio-economics impact the culture (or lack thereof) of a society, and its education; thereby, its ability to record history, and create art or literature.
