just the importance, need it tomorrow, thanks..

Answer 1

what about her story???

History is the basis on which civilization evolves. Society itself is constantly changing in a manner similar to Hegel's thesis, antithesis and synthesis. History, the thesis, is combined with the modern day antithesis and produces the future, synthesis. Without knowledge of the past, humans would be forced to constantly relearn scientific discoveries and warfare tactics in a continuing recycle. Comprehending antecedent events allow the observer to rectify erratums and to develop and mature. Being cognizant of one's history allows them to understand where they are now, how they got there and where they can go in the future. History is the most relevant material for an individual (and a society) to analyze because it allows them to benefit from previous experiences and advance.

Warfare is an example of evolution through the study of history. As time has passed, armies have transformed from leather helmets to horses to armor to even guided missiles today. After wars were fought tacticians would closely study the faults in the attack as well as the victories and losses of centuries ago. Even today military personnel still study Napoleonic and other foregoing strategies. Through the examination and study of historic battles, tactics and movements, methods have advanced.

The judicial system is an example of history being used in the present. Precedents are set in previous cases when the court makes a decision that can later be used in future trials. Quite often the courts refer to precedents to justify their decisions. Again, historic examples are used to settle disputes in the present. The Supreme Court (of the USA) even refers to the Constitution of the United States a document over 200 years old to settle cases. An understanding of history increases wisdom and enlightens those who study it.

History is a combination of thesis, antithesis and synthesis in constant motion connecting the past, present and future. It can also be understood as a widespread, intricate web that is interlocked through cause and effect as well as accident. Simply put, understanding the past allows persons to learn from their mistakes. History also defines society and outlines culture. There is no more important subject than history to study, fore it educates while improving on previous errors and adding to omissions. A people who know their history, know their future.

Answer 2

Well I'm sure you've heard the expression Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, it's true, just look at Hitler. He should have waited to invade Russia. There are lots of things that present day people don't remember such as the fact that whites where not the first to sell Africans into slavery,( other Africans did).Even the American Indians had slaves of their own.
Did you know that when Pres. Clinton drafted his assault weapons ban, it was almost the same wording Hitler used to disarm the civilian population in his time. It is important to remember the past, in order to proceed into the future

Answer 3

There's a famous quote about history: Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it....meaning that history is important because we need to be aware of mistakes made in the past (war, etc.) in order not to do the same things again.
