We outline what we expect from a good cohomology theory and introduce some of the most common cohomology theories. We go on to discuss what properties each should encode and detail attempts to fit them into a common framework. We build evidence for this viewpoint through several worked number theoretic examples and explain how many of the key conjectures in number theory fit into this theory of motives.
