History read alone without reading Sociology is how the older gen parsed reality cause they never had access to as much multi diciplinary info as we do today.

History read alone without reading Sociology is how the older gen parsed reality cause they never had access to as much multi diciplinary info as we do today. Today we don't read history of one man or one group alone because its like paying attention to a small part of much larger ever changing systems. Its like studying hurricanes. These dynamical systems are not controllable by anyone because they are so massive and interconnected with things happening much much further away from the center that draws everyones focus. So how does society cope with that level of uncontrollabilty? You have to look at what sociologists like Ulrich Beck or Zygmunt Bauman have to say or even Niall Fergusons Square and the Tower.
