The study of History to me means these people really lived, loved, laughed and passed on. It also means that if we DON'T study them and their lives and times that we will be doomed to the same mistakes they made!

As a child I hated history in school. But now as an adult, I love history. It is amazing to know some of the things that happened long ago.

The old saying, "Those that fail to study history are doomed to repeat it."
History can be a great teacher if only you take the time to study.

Learning what mistakes have been made in the past, how people dealt with those issues, and what mistakes people are making today and how we could resolve them and keep from falling into similar mistakes. If we must make an error, then let it at least be an unprecedented and "new" error. And yes I mean that with a sense of humor.

It is a way to look at events, culture, society, etc. of the past. History can help us understand who we are and help us understand the culture and society of today. I find intellectual history the most interesting becasue it forces us to question everything, and I feel it is the best way to understand life in the past and in general.

A chance to learn about fascinating people and a different way of life. It also allows me to understand how perceptions of the world have changed greatly over the years. It is fascinating to see all the different ways in which the human mind has worked throughout the millenia.

Wisdom. Wisdom to know what has worked in the past, and what hasn't. Wisdom to guide my actions with a knowledge of past successes and past failures. Wisdom to know that I'm not bound by the past, I don't HAVE to do what people did in the past, but having a good knowledge base of historical events gives me the wisdom to break from the past with a better chance of success.
