LEARNING

HISTORY
WHAT IS HISTORY?
• History is the knowledge and study of the
past. It is the story of the past and a form of
collective memory. History is the story of
who we are. Where we come from, and can
potentially reveal where we are headed.
WHY STUDY HISTORY?

• History is important to study because it is essential for all


of us in understanding ourselves and the world around
us. There is a history of every field and topic, from
medicine, to music, to art. To know and understand
history is absolutely necessary, even though the result of
historical study are not visible and less immediate
HISTORY ALLOWS YOU TO
UNDERSTAND MORE
• OUR WORLD
* History gives us a very clear picture of how the various aspects
of society – such us technology, governmental system, and even
society as a whole- worked in the past so we understand how it
came to work the way it is now.
SOCIETY AND OTHER PEOPLE
*. For example, we are able to evaluate war, even when a nation is at peace,
Studying history allows us to observe and understand how people and societies
behavedby looking back at previous events.

IDENTITY
* History can help provide us with a sense of identity this is actually one of the
main reasons that history is still taught in schools around the world. Historians
have been able to learn about how countries, families and groups were formed
and how they evolved and developed overtime. When an individual takes it upon
themselves to dive deep intp their own family’s history, they can understand how
their family interacted with larger historical change.
PRESENT DAYS ISSUES
*History helps us to understand present-day issues by asking deeper
questions as to why things are the way they are.
THE PROCESS OF CHANGE OVER TIME
*If we want to truly understand why something happened in any area
or field, such as one political party winning the last election vs the
other, or a major change in the number of smokers you need to look
for factors that took place earlier. Only through the study of history can
people really see and grasp the reasons behind these changes, and only
through history can we understand what elements of an institution or a
society continue regardless of continual change.
IN HISTORY YOU CAN LEARN A NEW
LESSONS
• POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE
*History can help us become better informed citizens. It shows us who we
are as a collective group, and being informed of this is a key element in
maintaining a democratic society. This knowledge helps people take an
active role in the political forum through educated debates and by refining
people’s core beliefs. Through knowledge of history, citizens can even
change their old belief systems
HISTORY TEACHES MORAL AND VALUES
*By looking at specific stories of individuals and situations, you can test your
own morals and values. You can compare it to some real and difficult situations
individuals have had to face in trying times. Looking to people who have faced
and overcome adversity can be inspiring. You can study the great people of
history who successfully worked through moral dilemmas, and also ordinary
people who teach us lessons in courage, persistence and protest.
BUILDS BETTER CITIZENSHIP
*The study of history is a non-negotiable aspect of better citizenship. This is one
of the main reasons why it is taught as a part of school curricula. People that
push for citizenship history (relationship between a citizen and the state) just
want to promote a strong national identity and even national loyalty through the
teaching of lessons of individual and collective success.
LEARN FROM THE PAST AND NOTICE CLEAR WARNING SIGNS
*We learn from past atrocities against groups of people; genocides, wars, and
attacks. Through this collective suffering, we have learned to pay attention to the
warning signs leading up to such atrocities. Society has been able to take these
warning signs and fight against them when they see them in the present day.
Knowing what events led up to these various wars helps us better influence our
future.
GAINING A CAREER THROUGH HISTORY
*The skills that are acquired through learning about history, such as critical
thinking, research, assessing information, etc, are all useful skills that are sought
by employers. Many employers see these skills as being an asset in their
employees and will hire those with history degrees in various roles and industries
