▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who believe that in order to tackle obstacles facing us now and in the future, comprehending the past is crucial. However, I personally disagree with the above idea for the two subsequent reasons. First, it isn't helpful. Second, comprehending the past is just waste of time.
First, comprehending the past is not helpful to solve problems of now and the future. This is because, the world has changed so extremely that solutions for obstacles of the past is just old-fashioned. Let me bring up my personal story as an example. When I was in high school, I had some problems caused by my schoolwork. After several trials in order to solve the problems by myself, I finally asked my father to give me proper advice. Although he gave me very good advice from his experiences, I couldn't solve the problems effectively because the grading system has changed so much. Therefore, it took so long time to overcome the obstacles.
Second, trying to understand the past is just waste of time. To explain, people do not have time to study the past due to the competitiveness of today's society. Besides, there is usually insufficient information and data of the past, so it is hard to find adequate solutions from the past. According to research done by Korea university, researchers said that finding solutions from the past in order to solve problems of now and the future usually takes longer time than just trying to sove them by present ways. This clearly shows that comprehending the past in order to overcome obstacles of now and future is not efficient.
In conclusion, not only can comprehending the past not be helpful, but also is waste of time. In this regard, I firmly believe that it is not necessary to comprehend the past in order to takle obstacles facing us now and in the future. |
