Question

write an article for your school magazine describing a way of majority of students hate studying history and how the subject can be made interested for them

Answer 1

History is one of the most interesting subjects in the humanities, and one of the most important as well. History is the basis for almost all other disciplines in the humanities. However, history has been killed by school teachers. Millions of students grow up to hate history every year, and only a few of them realize the beauty of the subject later on.

How to make history more interesting? Well, history is a story, and it should be told like it were an epic saga, similar to Game of Thrones. In fact, most of political history is like Game of Thrones, so anyone who reads it like that will love it. It also helps immensely if you have a good sense of imagination. I love it when I imagine myself as a peasant in medieval Britain, or a soldier in the Roman army, or a minor aristocrat in the Habsburg Empire in the 18th century, or a farmer in India during the Mughal Empire.


There are also many video games with historical flavor, from which it is possible to learn a lot of history. I'm sure most people have played the Age of Empires series, especially the Age of Kings and Age of Conquerors. I learnt about the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, the Spanish hero El Cid, the Maid of France Joan of Arc, the Mongol Emperor Genghis Khan and so many more historical figures from these games.
