The importance of studying the past and learning from it was always been considered one of the most heated topics. Indeed, there are different points of view: someone thinks that the past cannot teach anything,
while

others argue that it is a teacher of

from which everybody can learn, in order to avoid the same mistakes and create more rightful societies. I personally believe that studying the past is the best way to improve human growth and understand the world where we live.
Consequently

,
this
Linking Words
essay will focus on both opinions and will explain my point of view. It is well known that
life

and societies are used to change during the past putting us to the test with very different situations. Clearly, today’s problems,

life

goals are not the same as in the past and
this
Linking Words
led me to think that the past cannot give us a lecture on our lives.
In contrast
Linking Words
, in my view, our lives and societies are only the development of historical events and only learning history can give us the key to understanding modern times.
For instance
Linking Words
, many technologies of our times derived from past discoveries,
thus
Linking Words
, knowing history can let us understand why and how we use
such

tools.
In addition
Linking Words
, studying our and others’ past allows us to avoid
such

horrible mistakes and improve our society. I believe that, if we do not know the world’s past, we will always turn around the same mistakes without learning how to avoid them.
For example
Linking Words
, if we did not study political and economic history we could not realise society’s achievements and we would not give the right importance to our freedom and democracy
as well as
Linking Words
we would not understand the reasons for the economic crisis.
This
Linking Words
means that we could not avoid an economic crisis in the future
as well as
Linking Words
we could lose our democracy without realising it.
To conclude
Linking Words
, there are many people who think we do not need to learn past, but I firmly believe that without knowing our past we cannot have a better future.
