Some people think studying from the past offers no benefits to today’s life, while others believe that history is a valuable source of information for us. Discuss both views and give our own opinion.

It is true that the question of whether to learn

history

or learn subjects remains a source of controversy in the education field.

While

a number of people opine that there would be nothing to gain from doing research on what happened in the past, I firmly believe that

history

does teach us precious lessons like other subjects. On the one hand, proponents of

More importantly, each historical event is interpreted differently based on the different facts and perspectives. So, there is no guarantee of the accuracy of the information obtained. If, in many cases, a historical document was falsified, it would cause tremendous damage to people's culture and religion.

On the other hand

, those who favour believing

history

plays an essential role in people's life argue that the past cause the present, which means what we are experiencing at the moment could already happen in the past. By studying and analyzing those historical events, not only

to understand how their ancestors have defended the nation against intruders to protect our sovereignty. To illustrate, the Vietnamese soldiers have fought courageously against the invasion of a huge amount of invaders from around the world like America, France and China.

Also

, their ancestors suffered from the attack of these countries and sacrificed their blood and deaths to obtain peace.

Therefore

, kids at school are provided with historical knowledge to receive a message about preserving their country.

In contrast

, if they are not educated with lessons related to

, they will disregard the importance of peaceful beauty. To summarize, there are valid arguments that exist in favour of omitting

others are resistant to changing it. Personally, I strongly believe that acquiring knowledge about historical events seems to be of great value to me.
