Nowadays
some people say that the study of history is largely a
waste
of time as it prevents us from challenges of current life.
Should we
study history or should not? Some people consider the
study of
history is a sheer waste of time, while others totally disagree
with that.
In my view,
learning history is far preferable to not learning. It offers a
wide range
of benefits for us. To begin with, the process of history is
all about
reasons and consequences. Studying this structure makes
us think
logically. It is an important skill for life in general. What is
more, the
study of history broadens our minds. By studying history
we will
encounter customs, traditions, household of the people of all
walks of
life in any century, we will get acquainted with political
systems
too. Furthermore, the question of being well-educated is
partly
based on your knowledge in history. One needs to know
history not
to be considered as a fool, a simpleton.
However,
there are people who oppose this opinion. They say that
since it is
past, it does not matter at all. In their opinion, modern
society is
too different from the previous one. Besides, they say the
speed of
modern life is too fast to learn something about the past, the
history.
But what
they forgot about is that some bases and rules exist for
ages. So
they are not right at all.
In
conclusion, I strongly believe that knowledge of history is a matter
of vital
importance for all of us. Everybody should study the history.
