Person History is full of stories, some are inspiring and uplifting; others are chaotic and immoral. Tap into the vivid realm of history, there are many vital lessons you need to learn. You will study times of suffering and times of joy, and the lessons you learn here can then be applied to your own life experience or your work. History also encourages a deeper understanding of difference. There are lessons, both good and bad, to be learned from the way our ancestors have interacted with other people who have different ways of living. In a modern world where inclusivity is embraced no matter your background, an understanding of how past societies have integrated is key to humanity improving in the future. History also helps us in Understanding our Identity. Nations are made up of a collection of stories and legends. These stories shape the way we think about our country and our standing within it. History is where we learn about how great institutions are formed, and how they’ve contributed to where we are today. For many of us, looking back at incredible fellow countrymen is a way of establishing our own identity. Finding who we are and what mark we can make on the world is a huge part of childhood and young age.
History also inspires us in many ways.
Many historical stories can serve to inspire individuals to greatness. History remembers brilliant people and their heroic acts that have changed the shape of nations. You get a huge amount of motivation from learning about the inspirational events that make up where we are today. It only takes one great story from the pages of history to light up young minds or child’s imagination and lead them on to do great things. History makes us learn from our past mistakes “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana’s quote is one of academia’s most cited and paraphrased lines, and one that explains perfectly why everyone should study history. The past is filled with warning signs. We must be able to reflect on the events that built up to them, learn from mistakes made and resist and question if we see similar patterns emerging. If we know our history well, then we will be able to identify when society is going down perilous routes and contribute towards getting it back on track.
