11. Why We Study History
It is relevant. What happens today is a result of what happened yesterday.
History tells the story of the human struggle.
History can repeat itself. “Those who do not learn from the past are destined to repeat it.”
Knowledge of history creates thinkers.
History gives humanity a heart and a sense of right and wrong.
