1.Why is it important to study history?

Studying history is important because it allows us to understand our past, which in turn allows us to
understand our present. If we want to know how and why our world is the way it is today, we have to
look to history for answers. People often say that “history repeats itself,” but if we study the successes
and failures of the past, we may, ideally, be able to learn from our mistakes and avoid repeating them in
the future. Studying history can provide us with insight into our cultures of origin as well as cultures with
which we might be less familiar, thereby increasing cross-cultural awareness and understanding.ack-to-

to make more sense of the current world. One can look at past economic and cultural trends and be able
to offer reasonable predictions of what will happen next in today's world. One can also understand why
some rules exist in the modern world. For example, one can understand the importance of the social
welfare programs if one looks at the Great Depression and New Deal. We can also look back on the Civil
Rights movement and see why the United States puts so much effort into creating a system where
everyone is equal before the law and has equal access to public amenities. History also allows us to see
how the United States gradually created the Constitution after it had just fought a war against a central
government that did not care for colonial interests. Without a background in history, one does not
appreciate why the Constitution was revolutionary for its time. More broadly, history enables us to
understand different cultures. In the past history has been justified for reasons we would no longer
accept. For instance, one of the reasons history holds its place in current education is because earlier
leaders believed that a knowledge of certain historical facts helped distinguish the educated from the
uneducated; the person who could reel off the date of the Norman conquest of England (1066) or the
name of the person who came up with the theory of evolution at about the same time that Darwin did
(Wallace) was deemed superior—a better candidate for law school or even a business promotion.
Knowledge of historical facts has been used as a screening device in many societies, from China to the
United States, and the habit is still with us to some extent. Unfortunately, this use can encourage
mindless memorization—a real but not very appealing aspect of the discipline. History should be studied
because it is essential to individuals and to society, and because it harbors beauty. There are many ways
to discuss the real functions of the subject—as there are many different historical talents and many
different paths to historical meaning. All definitions of history's utility, however, rely on two
fundamental facts.

explain each in 5 sentences.

The study of history is the study of humanity, and it reveals truths about the human condition.

years ago. Historians look at graffiti from the past and find that it is almost the same as modern graffiti.
They can even read historical plays with the same jokes as modern comedians. Studying history reveals
that people are fundamentally similar to each other, regardless of where and when they live, and that
many differences arise because cultures adapted to different environments.

1. Transferable Skill

Skills of analysis are invaluable in many jobs, and the ability to analyse and then prioritise information
is vital to decision making. In this skill, the new generation will know about the past history by

history. Transferable skills can also help the other student to have more knowledge on what is the
history all about by transmitting information on the said topic.

In order to make sense of current affairs it is important to study the past, as everything which is
happening around us has been influenced by, and is a direct result of, that which preceded it. It is also
relevant to our history because we as a student know what the things or something is all about and
what are the reasons why those are happening. And also, we can used it on our daily lives when we have

can also combine to different subject matters. Every topic or lesson have a historical background , like

Mercury is liquid. Alloys are mixtures, where at least one part of the mixture is a metal. Examples of
metals are aluminium, copper, iron, tin, gold, lead, silver, titanium, uranium, and zinc. Well-known alloys
include bronze and steel. Some chemical elements are called metals. They are the majority of elements
