History is the past as it is described in written documents, and the study thereof. Events occurring before written records are considered prehistory. "History" is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events.

The Physical, Social, And Cultural Environment of Politics
Politics and political decisions can be understood only in terms of the physical, social, and cultural environment in which a community is embedded.
Propositions
We must learn to live together sensibly or risk dying together in large numbers.
Shared biological nature and biological destiny should inspire respect for our common humanity and our fundamental equality minimizing conflict.
Human needs such as security, acceptance, and recognition suggest the origins of values that provide common purposes, goals, and standards for politics.
Reduction of distance between people has enhanced global interdependence and cooperative patterns of behavior.
Human vulnerability to disaster, both manmade and natural, underscores need for global agreements.
Exhaustion of non-renewable resources and the growth of population highlight the need for global policies.
Global warming and climate change require a global response.
Modern economic life requires policies that ensure full employment, an equitable distribution of income, and mechanisms to protect both workers and consumers.
Worldwide rising expectations is influenced by ideology and technology.
Challenges
Both weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, biological, chemical) and conventional weapons threaten the survival of large numbers of the human species. The challenge is to control the spread of these weapons and ultimately, eliminate them.
Ecological balance is vital. Ecological disaster leads to political disaster. Need to better manage our resources without sacrificing our standard of living, human integrity, or employment and profits.
We have a challenge to adapt the best of our past while embracing change to meet future goals.
We have a challenge to make sure that our economic systems, whether capitalist, socialist, or a combination of the two, serves human needs at the least cost to freedom.
Challenge to balance the needs of the people with the public interests.
Develop policies to meet human needs.
How do we harness the powers of science and technology to benefit humanity?
Challenge to foster creative imagination in all realms to develop a guiding vision of human excellence.
Patterns of Population Growth
The planet today is home to slightly over 7 billion people distributed unevenly across the globe.
Question is, how many people can the Earth hold? This is known as the Earth’s carrying capacity.
What size population can the Earth support without suffering deterioration?
The answer to this question holds serious implications for politics.
Information about national populations when combined with other data, tells us a great deal about national political strengths and weaknesses – and potential power.
