Some people believe that we cannot learn anything from the past for our life today, while others believe that history is a valuable source of information to understand human's life. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In

this

modern world, it is argued by some politicians that every

century

has different dynamics so countries should focus on the current time, while other authorities and

history

professors believe that the

history

always repeats itself and the historical data is high importance to understand the present. I strongly support the idea of the importance of

history

, and

this

essay will examine both views.

First

of all, the countries’ powers have been changing for centuries due to technological developments. When we look at the 16th

century

, it was impossible to talk about the internet or the industrial revolution.

In other words

, if societies decide to tackle an issue in line with the historical experiences regardless of the present technology, the decision would be wrong without any doubt.

Furthermore

, in the past, the power of a country has been measured by its military power or natural resources

such

as fuel or gas.

However

, life has changed, and communities have invested in more green resources

such

as dams or solar energy.

For instance

, if a country stuck in

history

and choose to be conservative, the citizens cannot explore innovations, which means the country would lose its power.

On the other hand

, since the beginning of humanity, billions of people have died, but one truth remained all the time, “

history

repeat itself”.

This

idea mainly comes from historical data and books. Cause countries can be established or destroyed, technology can be evolved, but the human being is always the same. In fact, important cases

such

as inventions and discoveries were always a part of our life. People have been affected and

history

has recorded everything.

Moreover

, the reaction of a human being in order to new technologies or even war had been always predictable thanks to historical records. As per an academic article published by the UNESCO, it says that the psychology of the human being is easily predictable benefiting from historical records, regardless of the

century

they live. In conclusion, in the light of information give above, whereas some people believe that every

century

has different dynamics and should be evaluated in itself, I am convinced that the psychology and life of a human being would be more understandable thanks to precious historical data.
