雅思写作辅导：学习历史是否有价值
雅思名师写作范文：学习历史是否有价值History is more than the old stories, myths, or an academic subject for the
scholars to write papers or books. Like many other sciences, history not only
tells people what have happened before but also functions as a compass to lead
human beings in the right course.
One of the most important roles that the study of history plays in solving
the current human affairs is that it functions as a “rearview mirror”. It shows
what is behind you so that you can move forward easily. History is, in essence,
the people and their activities, both physical and psychological, in the past.
If we accept that the past and the present are not entirely separated, then we
have to admit the value of history. Our ancestors have suffered the same
troubles, such as disease, disaster, or devil, as what we are confronted with,
and their experiences, knowledge, and understanding of nature provide us with
invaluable wisdom.
It is true that a fewer people claim that history helps people little in
unlocking the current problems. They might give a long list of assumed
“evidence”. For instance, they say that environmental issues are new,
globalization unprecedented, political or economical conflicts fresh, and the
like. Nevertheless, they have failed to see that in essence these problems are
what our forefathers have experienced. Today people are suffering the same old
trouble of poverty, wars, and mental crisis.
Therefore, reading history, at least we can find some clues to solve these
problems.
