The question you asked is a personal question and one that people will answer differently. However, there are some themes that emerge from this topic. History is the study of events that occurred in the past. History, if studied and applied properly, should serve as a guide of how to live in the present and in the future. We can learn a lot about life by studying history. We can also learn how to prevent making the same mistakes over and over.
History allows a person to learn how we got to where we are today regarding world affairs, the economy, and relations among different groups of people. We can learn how countries gained power and influence. We can also learn why some people are angry because of how they were treated by history. If you asked the Native Americans how they view history, they may answer very differently than if you asked a person who benefited from treaties made with the Native Americans. The way a person views history is affected by one’s experiences and one’s perspective.
