Events that happen in the past often affect people’s lives today. In some ways, it is as if the past is still alive today. Past events can affect the choices that are available to you now – but other choices are not yours to make.

Your birth for example was not a choice. You were born in a specific country, in a specific community, and to a specific family, and you had no choice in this. But you do have a choice in deciding how to respond to the forces that have shaped – and been shaped by – your country, your community, and your family.

These forces are legacies – things that have been passed on by those who lived in the past. These legacies of the past can colour the present – but the ability to analyze these legacies, to understand how they evolved, to recognize their effect on the present, and to respond thoughtfully is essential to becoming an informed participant in today’s society
