(You will need a transition here)

- End the Intro paragraph with your thesis statement:

Even though many scholars take the time to report fact-only information, and those who read and work with opinion based information should realize that the author may have a bias and they need to examine their readings critically, history's facts often become skewed as time progresses due to a lack of communication by survivors as well as societal bias that shifts and changes, and we as a world should learn from past mistakes and take into light the consequences of our actions instead of ignoring the past because Survivors of past wars and important social movements such as the holocaust often have a difficult time discussing the things that happened during the time they may have suffered, so their stories do not reach out to mass media as quickly and un-biased as we would like and As our societies shift and advance into new generations and new ways of thinking, scholars look back on history's actions and may misinterpret events and meanings by ignoring hard facts presented and attempting to change what the events may have meant for society at that time.

Body Paragraph #2

Even though many scholars take the time to report fact-only information, and those who read and work with opinion based information should realize that the author may have a bias and they need to examine their readings critically, history's facts often become skewed as time progresses due to a lack of communication by survivors as well as societal bias that shifts and changes, and we as a world should learn from past mistakes and take into light the consequences of our actions instead of ignoring the past because Survivors of past wars and important social movements such as the holocaust often have a difficult time discussing the things that happened during the time they may have suffered, so their stories do not reach out to mass media as quickly and un-biased as we would like.

Conclusion

So you can see that although many scholars take the time to report fact-only information, and those who read and work with opinion based information should realize that the author may have a bias and they need to examine their readings critically, history's facts often become skewed as time progresses due to a lack of communication by survivors as well as societal bias that shifts and changes, and we as a world should learn from past mistakes and take into light the consequences of our actions instead of ignoring the past for two main reasons. First, Survivors of past wars and important social movements such as the holocaust often have a difficult time discussing the things that happened during the time they may have suffered, so their stories do not reach out to mass media as quickly and un-biased as we would like. But most importantly, As our societies shift and advance into new generations and new ways of thinking, scholars look back on history's actions and may misinterpret events and meanings by ignoring hard facts presented and attempting to change what the events may have meant for society at that time.
