In my Extension History course, we're encouraged to remain neutral, unbiased and completely objective...to the best of our ability. The very first thing we tackled in the class was the fact that no historian is able to be completely objective, mainly due to the impact and influences of society, culture, religion etc.

That's the ticket to being successful in the course. Everytime a source is shoved under my face, I have to critically analyse, and find as many "what ifs". In that respect, it's an easy course because as I've already said, no historian can avoid being biased.

So no. There's no way to be neutral on a topic.
