's development and understanding of the
world
. Often schools'
history
 classes touch upon the past of the
country
, which in my opinion is crucially important because it makes children more rooted in their own culture. By understanding the past, a person gets a deeper understanding of the roots of different traditions, laws and norms, and
therefore
, creates a deeper connection and respect towards the
country
 and what it has already achieved or
on the contrary
, learns about the mistakes made.
However
, often, these stories of the past are not given a proper context regarding other conflicts or happenings in other parts of the
world
 that may have provoked their appearance in

's own region.
Therefore
, taking into account other main historical events and getting a complex understanding of them is vital in educational institutions.
Moreover
, it is important for children to generate more awareness about other nationalities to learn about cultural differences,

 teaching them how to be more sensitive and respectful towards others. Learning about how other countries have dealt with similar problems provides offspring with insights on how to
