Why Study History?


Why should we study history?

History is the study of the past, history are unresolved mysteries of life. These mysteries have to be justified and the only way to justify them is to study it, to learn about what is happening and what happened in the world in order to find the answer to these problems and mysteries. History is sometimes interesting because it is amazing and a lot of weird things happened long time ago. History also allows us to compare the historic world with the modern world; people want to know about the evolution of humanity.
The last reason why we should study history, is because the past causes the present, and so the future. Any time we try to know why something happened, suicide, death, war, or congresses we have to look for factors that took shape earlier to resolve these unknown events.
History is an important feature in our lives, for example when black people where mistreated before, other people still kept this image of the black people and still mistreat them.
Another example, is religion, it came from the past and without certain people in the history such as Mohamed, Jesus, and Moses people would not go to their sacred place and worship. Without Mohamed, muslims would not be able to do Ramadan, without Jesus there would be no christmas, and without Moses there would be no Hanukkah.
Without history there would be no revolution, and it is caused many special days such as Independence day, 14th of July, and the Green March, etc...
History is like a car, you cannot drive if you have not seen the rear view mirror

Amine, you really should feel good about the time and effort you are putting into your posts. You are showing a real ability to come up with interesting one liners like "The last reason why we should study history, is because the past causes the present, and so the future."

Nice :)
