THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING HISTORY

Studying history is very essential and important to every country, whether on its cultural
heritage and traditions, its people, its heroes etc. This will showcase how unique every country
is. It is very important to study this because this will help us track the works and worth of every
nation. Moreover, it will give openness to every individual how fragile our past back then. By
this, we can develop our self to become will rounded person which uses what he learn from the
past and make it a way to be successful and avoid making the same mistakes again. Also this will
encourage every individual to accept differences and dig deeper understanding about it and
through this we can imagine how our ancestors blend-in in a society that is full of differences
towards another and how they use this differences in developing their society that we can feel
until up to this days.

A life changing experience will be given to you when you fully understand why we study
history , its because in every story from the past it give and share lessons that are applicable on
what we face today. We have experience freedom from dictatorship, colonialization and wars
which took our rights and by tracing the past back we could avoid this to happen again if we are
struck by the reality. This also give us a full understanding of our identity as a person, as a nation
and as a whole. With the knowledge we get from history we are inspired by the people who fight
for our freedom and identity and through this we are motivated to follow the heroic act of this
people by showing kindness , love , care and support to those whose in need this simple actions
are food our souls that can be treasured by those who have experience it.

Studying history will complete our life. Why , because knowing the greatness of the past
will give us pleasure of fulfillment and importance. Imagine we enjoy and devour the things that
our ancestors fight for, they risk their life , sweet and blood for us to be happy today and we
should be thankful and our simple actions like studying history will surely be their happiness
because they always remembered. In addition , studying history will create mark in every heart
of us, because this life changing memories and knowledge will be stored in our core memory just
like books and this will last forever and think of it like a gift that you could share with your
children in the future. Lastly, remember it always to look back on the past because I do believe
that what happen from the past it could happen again soon in the future so always be cautious
and alert on the things you experience on the society you belong in order to avoid the tendency
that this will happen.
