Some people say history is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that, in today's world, subjects like science and technology are more important than history.

Before reaching a

conclusion we

Accept comma addition

conclusion, we

must

first

look at the contributions that knowledge of

history

and

science

and

technology

has made to help us achieve the kind of sophisticated civilization we have now.

History

has taught us many things. There is no denying in that.

History

has imparted us with knowledge of our ancestors. Without knowledge of

history

, we won't be able to appreciate the contributions of our ancestors to make us what we are now today.

History

is like the hard disk of our beloved earth. Of course a system may run without its long-term memory with the help of short-term memory,

however

, it can easily be understood that

this

would seriously hamstring the capability of the system.

For instance

, if the generations that are to come remain oblivious to or ignorant of the horror of world wars, where will they find the motives to avert another

such

vicious war. The world without its

history

would have no means to learn from mistakes that our predecessors have made.

History

not only prevents us from

doing

the act that results in something coming to be

making

mistakes but

mistakes, but

also

inspires future innovations. Take,

for instance

, had we not known about Mozart's great music compositions, we would have not had great compositions that were inspired by Mozart's.

Science

and

technology

are as important as anything can ever be. If not for

science we

Accept comma addition

science, we

would still be living in caves.

This

statement alone can sum up the importance of

science

and

technology

.

Science

and

technology

have set us apart from other ordinary animals. If we are to sustain for good as a species I would not be wrong to assume it has to be the help of

technology

.

Thus

to conclude, I must say

history

and

science

and

technology

are equally important for us to flourish.
