History is a topic that many might find boring to study or a waste of time. But there is more to studying history than meets the eye. It is a form of knowledge and study of the past. It is the story of the past and a form of collective memory. History is the story of who we are, and where we come from, and can potentially reveal where we are headed. It is a multifaceted discipline that will increase learners’ cultural awareness and moral understanding of our world. By studying history one will gain a range of transferable skills and critical thinking to research and general awareness.

First and foremost, studying history allows learners to observe and understand how people and societies behaved. For example, they are able to evaluate war, even when a nation is at peace, by looking back at previous events. History provides factual data that are used to create laws or theories about various aspects of society. As a result, History gives a very clear picture of how the various aspects of society such as technology, governmental systems, and even society as a whole. In terms of a sense of identity, History is the actual main reason why it is still taught in schools around the world. Historians have been able to learn about how countries, families and groups were formed, and how they evolved and developed over time. Hence, when learners take it upon themselves to dive deep into their own family’s history, they can understand how their family interacted with larger historical change.

History helps to understand present-day issues by asking deeper questions as to why things are the way they are. Only through the study of history can people really see and grasp the reasons behind these changes, and only through history can we understand what elements of an institution or a society continue regardless of continual change. Also, History can help learners to become better-informed citizens. It is a key element in maintaining a democratic society. This knowledge helps people take an active role in the political forum through educated debates and by refining people’s core beliefs. Through knowledge of history, citizens can even change their old belief systems.

Therefore, understanding past events and how they impact the world today can bring about empathy and understanding for groups of people whose history may be different from the mainstream. Learners will also understand the suffering, joy, and chaos that were necessary for the present day to happen and appreciate all that you are able to benefit from past efforts today. History gives the opportunity to learn from others’ past mistakes. It helps to understand the many reasons why people may behave the way they do. As a result, it helps us become more impartial as decision-makers.

All people and cultures are living histories. The languages we speak are inherited from the past. Our cultures, traditions, and religions are all inherited from the past. Knowing these connections gives a basic understanding of the condition of being human.
