Why study history?
• In the first place, history offers a storehouse of
information about how people and societies
behave.
• The second reason is that the past causes the
present, and so the future.
• History also provides a terrain for moral
contemplation.
• History also helps provide identity, and this is
unquestionably one of the reasons all modern
nations encourage its teaching in some form.
• A study of history is essential for good
citizenship.
• History is useful for work. Its study helps
create good businesspeople, professionals,
and political leaders.
