Why do we have to learn history?

I know it can be boring, but learning history is kind of interesting sometimes. I know once you hate a subject, your always going to hate it. But, just try your best and you will do good.

their trying to show you what we did wrong in the past so we don’t make the same mistakes in the future -personally I dont care for it either

The problem is the way it’s taught. I hated history as well and it didn’t help that one of our history teachers would almost fall asleep standing up while he was telling us about the Crimean War… (the what??)

When I got to the ripe old age of 25 I found myself struggling to remember what I’d been taught, as I tried to figure out “how the world works.”

When you understand history, you have a better grasp of today’s world at many levels… of governments, wars, economy, social customs, employment… it’s true that we don’t need to know the exact date on which some treaty was signed, but it’s not bad excercise for the brain (Use it or lose it)

Keep in mind too, having an education makes you a much more interesting person to know :)

haha I hate it too, but as you know it’s good to have a feedback about things and it will help to develop.

It is a fact that History often repeats itself - so it would be wise to learn in order to not repeat the very same mistakes again.

we need to know about the past so we can plan our futures
