Essay / The Humanities Review in Relation to Vaccine Effectiveness , by definition, is the feeling of uncertainty about whether something is true or not. In contrast, confidence is the feeling and belief that something is true. Doubt and confidence, although there. antithesis of each other, affect how fields of knowledge are perceived unique branches of knowledge that use different methods to further their knowledge Humanities and history are fields of knowledge affected by. doubt and confidence. Moreover, the statement that confidence is present when little is known, in contrast to how doubt increases As new knowledge is acquired, the examination of the. The story in this article is supported by many real-life situations and different perspectives on the event. By mentioning how American history was originally derived, the positioning of some historians on the spectrum of revisionism due to the influences of doubt and skepticism becomes clear. The humanities review in this article relates to the effectiveness of vaccines and how external factors such as beliefs and false evidence can increase doubt. By analyzing these knowledge areas, a broader view of two unique and different opinions can be seen and further shows the changing levels of certainty and uncertainty. With each new generation, a new way of looking at the past often appears, leading to doubts about different events. This increase in doubt, and then skepticism, helps encourage historians to do more research and find more primary sources to support their claims and theories. This follows the theory of historical revisionism which allows historians to reinterpret historical events and provide more supporting evidence. contrasting opinions. By finding and seeking more knowledge, doubt about whether or not previous perception and assumptions about the details regarding the historical event are correct increases. Many revisionists, however, use this doubt as motivation to find indisputable evidence to support their claims and beliefs about what really happened. Details involving moral or ethical topics often spark controversy and debate when revisionists wish to revise them. Those who oppose the revision of such things and would even go so far as to deny that such events occurred are known as historical denialists. A real-life situation that embodies this issue of revisionism is the Holocaust, which is filled with doubts due to the different opinions and beliefs presented by people around the world. Although the historiography of historical revisionism is extremely useful because it updates history after new discoveries of evidence and information, skeptics and denialists often oppose the use of this historiography and prefer the views orthodoxy of specific historical events. History denial rejects the entire basis of historical evidence, which is a form of historical denialism. Many historians who support historical denialism refuse to accept laws, theories, and ideologies regarding historical events that are believed to be true by the majority of society. In doing so, they express their doubts about the evidence and facts and instead direct their confidencetowards the belief that specific historical events never occurred. Although both a historical denier and a historical skeptic often deny that historical events occurred, the difference between the two would be that a skeptic "takes a scientific approach to evaluating claims" (Florien, 2010) while a denialist is someone who often "automatically disproves a claim regardless of the evidence that supports it." (Florien, 2010) This is the case for the Holocaust, as many historians are skeptical of all the details of the Holocaust, while some even go so far as to deny that it ever happened. By rejecting all evidence, we see an ironic twist to Goethe's question, because with ignorance and rejection of specific knowledge and evidence, a sense of confidence grows that the Holocaust will never happen. Goethe establishes the fact that when little is known, an individual's confidence is high, which may be true but may also mislead many people. Since only a few views and opinions are known about a given event, the degree of self-reliance on limited knowledge increases, which does not provide a complete understanding and perspective of the event or situation. situation. By increasing perspectives and evidence, the acquisition of knowledge contributes to a growing sense of doubt about orthodox views and beliefs. This is the case that historian David Williams argues. Since, for example, past American history was primarily written by white men, history was written to "serve their own class, racial, and gender interests at the expense of those who did not this chance.” Only a part (arguably the minority) of the population was represented, the other part of individuals doubted the limited perspectives and information provided to them, which ironically contradicted Goethe's statement. As a result, historical revisionism is arguably necessary to adjust the perspective framework in regards to different historical events. In doing so, historical revisionists revised the way history was written and, with the help of feminists and other movements and organizations, the confidence of the part of the population that was not originally represented has increased. things change the original ways and can give rise to new information. An increase in knowledge leads to more doubts and may be related to why the paradigm shifts to accommodate new knowledge. A real-world situation that illustrates this is the use and development of vaccines. The use of vaccines raises doubts in many countries, even though there is scientific evidence that they are useful to society. The reasoning behind doubt about the effectiveness of vaccines is often influenced by religion, beliefs and even news articles promoting false data. In the context of religion's influence on the humanities, many believers believe that it is ethically wrong to "use human tissue cells to create vaccines" (The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, 2017) and that "the body is sacred...and must be healed by God or by natural means." » (ibid.) Many people grew up in religious families and adapted to these family religious practices. For this reason, their trust in the knowledge that has been part of their life is extremely strong and by putting their trust in religion, many people of faith doubt external information regarding the"
