It is often said that learning about past is essential. Some people may be opposed to this statement because the most important moment is present which can affect to our future and looking back is just wasting time. However, I definitely believe that knowing about past cannot be regarded. This is because by watching past, people can bring great lessons to be successful in present as well as ability to expect tomorrow.
First of all, accidents in the past provide cues with which people know what they have to do in present. It can be achieved by following successful accidents and rejecting negative happenings in the past. For example, World war gives a huge lesson to modern people. From this, human got to know how war has a serious and negative effect on everything on earth. As a result, it is ongoing to try to not cause wars, especially nuclear war, by creating national organization which final purpose is world peace. If people have not learned about past like war, the earth would be filled with tragic.
Also, by inspecting past, people can raise their insight about what will happen in the future. One significant reason is that everything has a ceaseless cycle from begin to it's end. For instance, economists go back into the history to expect future economy. World economy has a continuous fluctuation, alternating rising and falling. And then, it is possible to foretell when depression would come and go. It makes government, nation and world prepare big change which threatens people's finance.
On the whole, I strongly argue that history should be learned. By doing so, people doesn't repeat their problems as well as go beyond present and watch future. So, I belive that history subject is certainly importnat and should be mandatory to every students. |
