CAE writing: Why is it difficult to know the truth about historical events?

Many people contend that knowing with accuracy the cultural past events of a society and the history of a whole community are paths that lead to the truth. While it is true that past issues and situations are a way of understanding the present, it is not that stories about past incidents cannot be changed or exaggerated. Therefore, knowing long time ago events portray several difficulties.

To begin with, one of the main complications towards finding and assuring that facts from the past are trustworthy is the lack of evidence. Nowadays people are satisfied with incomplete background information of facts or convinced with the first and the quickest answers to their inquiry. Looking for valuable responses and adequate descriptions can often be a hard task since it requires time and dedication to be able to picture a historical event.

Likewise, politics is a source of influence towards the masses. Politicians express their ideas and show their points of view after considering the history of the specific town, state or country. However these representatives may interpret past events so as to benefit themselves. Hence, their claims and position towards a past situation can result on deception, outright lies and one sided accounts. For instance, as manipulation can take place, knowing the real details of historical facts is an ardous duty.

As to conclude, I strongly believe that having a general idea about historical stories might be possible but having total knowledge may not unless lot of research from reliable sources is done with perseverance and on a full-scale.
