So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun that we did not want it to end. We are currently on the third topic for this week, which is “THE WORLD OF SPORTS”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “TALES OF HISTORY”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community telling us about their thoughts on history and how it shapes the world we live in today. History is indeed told by victors, and thus will always be biased in their favor. And then, just because something is widely accepted doesn’t make it right.
We got to see that in many areas, there are pieces of history that are thought to be true when in fact, they’re not. These things are told for different reasons, and most of the time, they’re rarely for the good of the common man. This was an enlightening topic, indeed.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w187e1; tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there, it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors, will be listed below.
Featured Contents
This author told us that over time, history has been diluted, manipulated, and distorted by people for several reasons. Everyone chooses to tell the story in a way that will favor them the most. He talked about the rest of the world’s eurocentric view of Africa, and how, for a long time, it was something they all believed until African writers began to tell their own side of the story. And till today, many still have this belief.
THE REAL BANGLADESH: STORIES TEXTBOOKS NEVER TOLD by
For this author, he shared with us the history of Bangladesh and the true story of how it came to be. This is a story that is not told often due to several reasons. However, he believes that all nations have untold stories, and eventually, the world will learn the real history behind them. This will be told, not by victors, but by survivors.
HISTORY: A FASCINATING DISCIPLINE WITH HUMAN BIASES by
For this author, she told us that many times, we believe something to be true simply because of how often we’ve heard it been said. History is often embellished and manipulated for the gain of those who do so. Unraveling the secrets of history has never been easy, and it may never be. But then, it’s up to us to decide what we accept as truth.
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. The first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (
) ] and 1 $PANDAMINER each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.
But then, we have some honorable mentions listed below:

Week 187 - Edition 03 Topic
THE WORLD OF SPORTS
“Are international sporting events a waste of resources? From the World Cup to the Olympics and other such competitions, are they really necessary, seeing how much money goes into hosting them every year, and also how much the players spend to partake in them? Shouldn't the money be used for something else? Or what do you think?”
