Do you agree or disagree? Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. |
Learning about the past has been a controversial issue for many years. Some people say that learning about the past is disadvantageous. However, I strongly believe that learning about the past is more beneficial than neglecting the past. I will explain why I think it is beneficial with two specific reasons to support my opinion.
To begin with, we can see many incidents which occurs anytime around us. But all of these occurrences had similarly happened in the past already. So to speak, most occurrences we have met are the same cases that had occurred in the past. For example, Vietnam War which occurred in 1954, was the fight that had many casualties. Also, in the past there must have been a war just like Vietnam War. So what is the point is, that the history always repeats although some people deny this fact. For this reason, learning about the past is very important.
The second, there are many kinds of wisdoms around us which are inherited from our ancestors. Even in trifling stuff, there are so many wisdoms regarded as a common sense and we use them all the time very efficeintly. These are all from our ancestors. Thus, learning about the past can be beneficial and efficeint to us. For instance, in Korea, there is one usage which is used when a person have an attack of indigestion. When a person have an attack of indigestion, Koreans do this usage before going to the hopital.They pierce one finger with a needle. Then a black-colored blood come out of the piercing mark. After piercing the finger with a needle, in most cases, one's stomachache cured in a moment. This usage is commonly used in most Koreans and very effective to many people. For this reason, learning about the past is important and invaluable.
In summary, learning about the past is important and invaluable since the history repeats itself and we can learn many wisdoms. Because of above reasons I prefer to learn about the past.
