Why is it
important
to
learn
History?
Studying history
we
have
the
possibility
to
“answer”
ourselves
“Why”, which is
the greatest question humanity has ever asked. Why is
this happening now?, Why does politics, religion or
humanity evolve this way?. Why things are the way they
are, and not in other way.
History helps us understand the behavior of civilizations,
How they used to live? In Who or What did they believe?
Even with history we can figure out the reason of peoples
to be where they are settled; was it the location, the
ground, the weather?. What they ate?, What tools,
strategies or skills they needed to get their food?, Which
of those we continue using and Why?, We learn all about
our present knowing the past, studying it.
History is the record of our past
It is highly important because allow us to create our own
minds about different events, even though we wasn’t
there, because it is a written science, so we can compare
and analyze it with different sources, (being well aware
that there’s always going to be
two sides); and off course, not
make the same mistakes were
made in the past.
History has taught us that
greatness in humankind is not
(always) going to be found in
great palaces, or in the most
schooled (and for not being
schooled
I
don´t
mean
“ignorant”) or wealthy people;
Instead of it, is in those with the
most humble houses or clothes,
but great golden hearts where a fearless spirit resides,
willing to help others no matter the consequences, always
being there for the ones who have nothing. It has taught
us that you don´t need an army with thousands of men to
conquer, to change the world, to change people’s minds.
