Change And Emperor Ashoka

History is always a study of change. Not everything changes. Some remains same and others change. Things that remains same for many years are something like that we always need food, we always need shelter, fern plant still exists, sun still exists, the Earth didn't break as yet in to several pieces, the Moon did not break and split. 

There are other things that change like the clothes we wear, the vehicles we travel, extinct dinosaurs, the ice age that is not existing anymore, the world that has split into several countries, the oceans that keep growing and changing etc.

I would like to share my opinion about the change Kalinga war brought.  King Ashoka was the son of Bindusara and grand son of Chandragupta Maurya.

Change is a continuous process. It was necessary to bring changes so that human beings can start living comfortably. One of the major changes brought by human beings is the invention of automobiles. This change helped the people in the world to travel anywhere on the land, water and air. Since then people started to explore the different places in the world and we became more aware of the world that we live in. 

CHANGE BRING AWARENESS

Change is a process and it is related to History

What is History? History is, simply put, what happened in the past and the changes that happened in it that formed the world today. So, change is very important and change is related to History. 

In order to understand how change is related to History, I prepared a questionnaire to interview my parents to know the changes that happened in their living and life styles that has formed the world today.

My questions to my mother were 

Change: Is it good or bad

Change is the new thing that come our way. Change is neither good nor bad. Change creates new history. Change is a necessary thing. No one can stop the change. Instead of getting scared, one can study the path of change and make sure the direction of the change is towards the good and the betterment. I brainstormed with my mother who is also my facilitator, to find out if it is good to change or not.
