To some people studying the past has little value in the modern world. Why do you think it is important to do so? What will be the effect if the children are not taught history?
There are some people who think learning
history
is irrelevant to our modern world. But, knowing the past makes us to avoid the same mistakes. On the other hand
, if our children aren’t taught history
, they won’t have any empathy how our society has been through.
Firstly
, the main purpose of studying history
is not only things that already happened before, but also
how should we address those things in the present. This
makes the horrific incidents remembered and not been done again. For example
, German schools teach their kids to fully understand what their ancestors have done during the holocaust and then
, those children regret for those who lost their lives and always be the frontliner
in opposing violence. Suggestion

history
can make us more peaceful. And because of this

for instance
, most of the Japanese can’t recognize what their soldiers conducted the mass killing of Nanking. This
is the result from inadequate contents of history
in Japanese classrooms. We don’t want to make the same scar, so we need to remember the scar.
In summary, history
is the tool to prevent the bad things occurred in the past to come out again in the future. Our children must be emphasized on how our civilization has gone through many events, both good and bad. So, the teaching of this
subject is always relevant in today’s world.Submitted by hansalakairbus on
