It is more important for schoolchildren to learn about local history than world history. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, many people have argued that school should concentrate more on teaching regional

history

instead

of

world

history

.

Although

I agree with

this

point of view, there could be a case for saying that learning

world

historical events

is

are

also

important for children.

First

of all, amongst there are several advantages associated with learning local past, the most significant of which is to understand thoroughly the origin and meaning of traditional events, customs and so on of their motherland.

Therefore

, the youngsters could maintain the valuable tradition for the

next

generation.

Furthermore

, local

history

is a storehouse of information about how the ancestors had lived, had thought and had fought to protect their land.

For example

, by listening about the rebellion of Trưng Sisters against the ruling yoke of Qin dynasty to liberate Vietnam, Vietnamese children could understand the value of freedom and respect the sacrifice of their ancestors.

Accordingly

, teaching local

history

is synonymous with educating about patriotism.

However

, we should not underestimate the importance of

world

history

. In order to understand more thoroughly and more deeply the regional past, it is necessary to relate the local historical events with corresponding

world

conditions.

For instance

, when studying about the Communist Party, which ruled Vietnam beginning in 1945, it is indispensable to acknowledge that the October revolution in Russia helped Nguyen

Quoc, later founder of the Vietnamese Communist Party, find the way to liberate Vietnam through Marxism ideology.

Furthermore

, as the

world

has become globalized, knowing the

history

of other countries is beneficial. People are prone to approach and support people who express

respectfulness

respectful

of the local culture and

history

.

Consequently

, it provides more opportunities for children to work and make friends with foreigners. In conclusion, it is my belief that

although

local

history

is more necessary,

world

history

has its important role. I am convinced that the study of local

history

should parallel with

world

history

so the children could apprehend

history

more effectively.
