Why is History Important?
History seems to be one of those subjects that students either love or loathe. For History lovers, there is no need to convince them that the subject is important. Many students, however, simply can’t see the relevance of an event that took place 50, 100, or even 1000+ years ago. While understandable, knowing and comprehending past historical events enables us to analyze past problems, evaluate solutions used to solve those problems, and apply that perspective to today’s challenges (and opportunities!). In short, historical context provides valuable tools that can be used to solve today’s problems and improve our present and future lives. History also helps us appreciate individuals and groups of people who made sacrifices that led to many luxuries and conveniences we enjoy today.
