Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案
People live in the present. They plan for and worry about the future. History, however, is the study of the past. It is undeniable that learning about past has its value, it will help us understand people and societies, and it will help us understand changes and how the society we live in came to be.
In the first place, history offers tons of information about how people and societies behave. For example, how can we evaluate war at peace time without historical materials? How can we understand the influence of technological innovation, or the role that beliefs play in shaping family life, without using the experiences? Consequently, history as our laboratory, and data from the past must serve as our most vital evidence to figure out why our complex species behaves as it does in social settings, that is why we cannot stay without history: if offers evidential base for the contemplation of how societies function, and people need to have some sense of how societies function to run in own lives.
The second reason why history is inescapable as a subject of study follows closely on the first. The past causes the present, and so does the future. Any time we fry to know why something happened—-whether a shift in political party, a major change in suicide rate, or a war in the Balkans or the Middle East—we have to look for factors that took shape earlier. Only through studying history can we grasp how things change. Only through history can we begin to comprehend changes; and only through history can we understand what elements of an institution or a society persist despite change.
In conclusion, I totally disagree with the argument that learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present.
