“People without the knowledge of their Past History, Origin and Culture are like Trees without Roots” – By Marcus Garvey.
History is the study of the past. Events occurred before are history. To know History is important because it tells us about our past, which helps us to understand present. History helps us to see into our origins with which we might be less familiar, thereby increasing awareness and understanding. History helps us understand change and how the Society we live in evolved. The reason history is inescapable because the Past created the Present, and so the Future will appear. The study of history is important because it can tell us how we evolved. The main reason behind why we should study History is to ensure that what had happened and don’t repeat the same mistakes as our forefathers had done when History tends to repeats itself. Studying is important because for knowledge to be useful we have to be able to retain it, so that we can apply it. The more knowledge you have the better decisions you can presumably make, which will lead to a better life. Experience based studying tends to lead a better application of knowledge.
