Some people think studying from the past offers no benefits to today’s life, while others believe that history is a valuable source of information for us. Discuss both view and give your own opinion. There are two major opinions about the role of history in our present life. Although a lot of people insist that there would be nothing to gain from doing research on what happened in the past, I suppose history does teach us precious lessons. On the one hand, I understand why some people think it is pointless to learn from the past. First of all, history is the field that is rarely used in people’s lives and therefore, they would rather to pay attention to science or technology than to focus on something that brings no values to present or future. Second, each historical event might be interpreted differently based on different perspectives. For instance, the most vivid example for this is the messiah in different religions. As a result, there is no guarantee of the accuracy of the information obtained. Thus, not only do they find studying history useless, but also a waste of time. On the other hand, a majority of people, especially me :D, myself included, would argue that studying from the past events is essential for two main reasons. Firstly, It/History helps young people have thorough insights into their own culture and how their country has evolved. This is particularly true in case of Iran. In my opinion, the youth need to understand how their ancestors defended the nation against intruders throughout many dynasties and were martyred for their freedom which would help the new generation develop a sense of patriotism and pride in/inside them. Furthermore, history depicts the mistakes made in the past, hence helping people avoid similar ones in the future. In conclusion, despite the fact that acquiring about historical events is redundant according to some people, it seems to be of great value to me.
