What happens today and what will happen in the future largely depends on what
happened in the past. We cannot even try to cope with these difficulties without fully
understanding the previous events and situations. Without knowing the past, we would be
drifting. in an infinite sea of time without identity. The simplest answer to the question 'Why
is it history?' or 'What is the historical benefit?' reads: "Try to imagine what it could be like to
live in a society where there was absolutely no understanding of the past." The mind
collides. Of course, if history plays this vital role in society, it must be as specific as possible.

The study of history offers the individual important useful learning effects.History
training includes learning to analyze, evaluate, and interpret both primary and secondary
sources; makes students feel that whatever is published about history, whether primary or
secondary, needs to be examined critically and carefully; promotes the ability to perceive.
between well-founded and logical writings and those that only reflect theory, speculation or
opinion. The skills and learning outcomes derived from historical studies are invaluable in
today's technology and communication dominated society. the skills required by the
historian and, more importantly, the attitudes taught in the history class.History also offers a
course in writing study results in the form of essays, reports, and theses. Clear and efficient
communication is crucial in the story, carefully structured and written in precise and
unambiguous language. History cannot simply give meaning to today's generations. belonging
to a particular political, social, and geographic region, but it can also convey a humble sense
of past human successes. Harmful or useful, they all contribute to the growth of civilization
that takes on collective meaning; I believe that knowing the historical process will keep us
from being overwhelmed by shared and destructive forces.It offers us thoughts about how
humans are and what makes us different from animals, and I believe there is psychologically
valuable knowledge about history.
We are all surrounded by history, whether we study it or not, history is embedded in
social customs, holidays, religions, government and legal institutions, as well as in our
popular culture (films and music are often based on historical facts and people). You don't
have to be a competent or practical historian to ponder, speak, or write about the past.
Anyone can have a historical interest. Anyone can read, study or talk about it.Discussions and
theories about the past have never been confined to classrooms, conference rooms, or
archive rooms. Anyone interested in history can take part, regardless of experience or
credentials. A major benefit of access to history is intellectual freedom. Everyone has the
right to research the past and draw their own conclusions, but that has one major drawback:
“folk history” and “good history” are seldom the same thing.They want simple, clear
explanations when thinking about the past; they like to shift debts, responsibilities, or blame
on; appreciate interested and "full" stories of heroes, immoral perpetrators, and satisfying
endings; they also want to think that their countries and civilizations are more developed,
civilized, or culturally superior than others. This does not lead to a "good story" as good
history students know.The story is seldom straightforward or straightforward, or full of
obvious villains and satisfying resolutions.

One of the fundamental difficulties that arises in writing history is the question of
historical knowledge, just some of its constituent parts. This is known in philosophy as
"inductive thinking" or generalization. The erroneous statement "Canaries are birds; canaries
are yellow; therefore all birds are yellow" is an example of a generalization.It goes without
saying that just because some birds are yellow doesn't mean all birds are the same. Many
people tend to draw general conclusions based on some facts or evidence.

The militarization of history is a new phenomenon observed in some western


countries and relates to an increasing focus on warfare, acts of war, military leaders and
soldiers studying, teaching and writing the past. This militarization of the past has been seen
in places like Australia. Many scholars there claim that Australia's history has slowly been
militarized since the 1980s. This process was driven by government policy and funding,
school curricula disproportionately focused on warfare, and nationalist literature and culture
to his war experiences. An important focal point for this is the ANZAC landing in Gallipoli in
April 1915, Australia's first major military campaign as an independent state.This growing
emphasis on Australia's military past has increased interest in history, leading to "battlefield
tourism" and large attendance at wartime commemorations. Critics argue that the
militarization of history feeds nationalist mythologies, glorifies war, and distorts our
understanding of history by entangling them with emotion and awe of the dead. It can also
distort the public understanding of national history, bind them too closely to war, and
obscure the importance of non-military leaders, conditions and events. Wars are stormy
and catastrophic events that are certainly worthy of careful historical study, but we must
strive to separate history and memory as much as possible. Military and war history should
be studied in their own context and without more reverence than any other branch. history.

Many current social problems have a long history and many young people are
interested in getting to know the historical background of current politics. Teens want to
explore these issues as the story progresses in order to gain a better understanding of
current events and attitudes. and to form their own opinion about the relationship of the
past to current views, they can better understand human rights and our duties as citizens in
today's modern society "culturally produced". History is not a formative dance in which
everyone marches once in one direction and then marches in a different direction.As the
history of historiography has progressed, the breadth and complexity of history has gradually
expanded. Although there was some movement outside of political history in the 20th
century, political history still matters greatly. In fact, none of the story styles are inherently
better than the other. : If the basic, but constantly growing, methods are followed, it all
depends on what topics and problems are covered. The fact that nothing is excluded
Conclusion At its core, history must be a discipline based on a thorough review of the facts
and precise use of language.The techniques and ideas of this subject need constant
recognition, and the way in which it is taught and communicated to a wider audience at
various levels.
