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. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
The evaluation of human history has changed the lives of
people
. We can learn a multitude of things from the past of humans which gives people
valuable information
to identify different periods of man whilst others hold the view that people
are unable to learn from the past. However
, I agree partially with both of the statements and subsequent paragraphs will elaborate on answers with examples.
To begin
with, majority of the people
believe that individuals cannot learn anything from the past which is valuable for today because in the present world everything has changed with the new technological updates when compared to our histories. As an example, back in 90's people
used piles of documents to store information
in different industries but in the 21st century, this
has been changed by technology where people
today use computers to store data. Thus
, humans trying to learn from the past won't be helpful for them in the present day as well as in the future since everything will change in a few years and people
will eventually forget how our ancestors worked.
On the other hand
, it is true that history provides people
with a vast area of information
to learn about the past lives of humans, such
as how people
developed the economy, and what the various systems used to communicate with other countries. As an example, trade continued from the era when kings ruled our country, and different concepts and tricks were used to upgrade the trade industry. Hence
, individuals can learn from different sources to build a strong trading system in a country by referring to information
from past data.
To conclude, in my opinion, I agree with the aforementioned viewpoints partially, because there are controversial reasons why people
cannot learn from history and how historical information
is worthwhile in the present day.Submitted by wathsala.lekamge1997 on
