importance of reading history
Answers
Answer:
history reading is very important
Answer:
You learn about where the world we live in now came from. Why do we do certain things we take for granted. We take for granted that we live in a culture of free through (if we’re lucky). But it wasn’t always this way. Why is something like democracy good, why is it bad where did it go wrong? What is good about communism and or socialism, what is bad where did it go wrong in the past? Why did autocratic cultures only make is so far in their evolution.
You start seeing that history does repeat itself albeit in the slightly different way. It would be inconceivable for a good military commander to have never learnt about past skirmishes, wars and commanders.
It influences your thinking, right now. It makes you more knowledgeable - teaches you and gives you a different perspective on something you would have otherwise not seen, dismissed or jumped to a conclusion about.
History is where all ideas come from and propagate into the future. The world we live in now was built on-top of a history or culture and often ideas that were not accepted then are accepted later and eventually change the world.
It gives you a frame of reference.
