Topic 38 Is learning aboutthe past useful?
It is often argued that spending much time on studying historyis unreasonable, since the information people obtain lacks the practicalimplementation. However, after careful thought, I have come to disagree withit. I believe that history provides valuable sources for understanding differentpeople and societies, predicting future trends and building a person'sidentity. History generates past experiences and formulates the steps ofdevelopment. It provides us with numerous examples of “cause-effect” events,which help to understand different social mechanisms.
Everything that is happening today stems from the past andwill have direct effect on the future. Being aware of our history helps toavoid old mistakes and make right decisions. The majority of all the politicalconflicts have a long history, for instance the Middle East or Russia- Chechnya tensions. A closer study of their deeperreasons and the measures taken beforehand can prove to be invaluable
in finding the right solution today. It can save thousandsof lives.
At the same time, studying history of our own country or regionbuilds up our identity, gives us a feeling of belonging to a certain group ofpeople. Therefore, if we face a problem of communicating with a person of otherculture, the basic knowledge of his history can prove absolutely necessary fora successful and productive interaction.
To sum up, I strongly believe that it is highlybeneficial for modern people to possess a good knowledge of the history, becauseit assures a profound understanding of social mechanisms, helps to avoid manymistakes and promotes a better communication between different nations. （对过去的历史有好的了解，可以对社会体制有更深刻的了解，帮助避免一些作物，促进不同国家之间更好的交流） |
