Why study history? History is a fundamental part of schools around the world. Year after year, students must learn topics they find trivial. These students believe that history is not important and should not be studied in school. However, these students are misguided in their beliefs about history. History is a vital part of human culture and should be studied in school. History can help humans solve our current problems, help people understand others and societies, and history provides cultural identity to many different groups. History can help humans solve current problems that humans are facing today. Today the world faces many problems. For example, today the United States is experiencing a voter turnout problem as fewer people vote in major elections. History can shed light on this problem. Historians can go back to past elections to see the percentage of the population that voted in past elections to see if the voter turnout problem is something rooted in the past or something that happened recently. If it's something that happened recently, historians can try to pinpoint the problem. This type of historical analysis is something that can be applied to other problems that humans have today. If humans used history to find data to solve historical problems, solving them would become much easier. If humans stopped studying history, centuries and centuries of evidence would be ignored. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack but ignoring the metal detector which is easily accessible. There is no point in ignoring the metal detector and there is also no point in ignoring the story. History offers a storehouse of information about how people and societies behave. Und...... half of the document ......if history for similar identity purposes. Simply defining the group in the present pales in comparison to the possibility of forming an identity based on a rich past. Stories that tell the national story, emphasizing the distinctive features of the national experience, are intended to bring home an understanding of national values ​​and a commitment to national loyalty. In conclusion, history is a fundamental part of human culture and schools around the world. History is a fundamental part of human life, and humans cannot simply turn their backs on centuries of past experiences. History can help humans solve our current problems, help people understand others and societies, and history provides cultural identity to many different groups. Human beings cannot simply pretend that the past didn't happen. The past determines the future and that is why humans cannot turn their backs on history.
