Hierarchy of
Suffering—Our History Is Being Re-written Daily: Jerry Barrett is pleased to welcome Mark Weber from the Institute
For Historical Review. History for every society consists of two different things. The first,
scholars often debate causes and origins of historical phenomenon. Secondly, it is a narrative for
each society: where we came from; where we are; and where we should go. All great history assessment
is revisionist in nature, attempting to understand the past based on new insights and perspectives.
Do today’s historians believe themselves to be more enlightened and knowledgeable than our
forefathers? Do today’s politicians only support policies which sound good even though consequences
presented could be catastrophic? Is diversity detrimental to a society? Is the great melting pot boiling
over due to racial tension in America?
