Humility: A History of a Lost Virtue
Christopher Bellitto, Kean University

History is an exercise in humility (Blog Post)
Title: History is an exercise in humility
Author: Christopher M. Bellitto
Abstract: History reminds us that things don’t always get endlessly better. As a colleague of mine says, “It’s always fun until the historians show up.” When you hear people start sentences with phrases like, “For the first time in history …” or “Never before has …” — that’s when historians push the pause button. We bust myths. We pop balloons. We’re annoying, but humility is a virtue that history can teach.
