The Importance of History

            According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, history is a branch of knowledge that records and explains past events. It is also a key to the future. Since history can explain why, when, and how things happened it can help people learn and improve on past ideas and inventions. History is studied to learn about heritage and to find out what went wrong in the past so it can be made better in the future. History gives a better understanding of how things work and why people act the way they do. .
             I feel that history is important because if something had been different in the past, it would be different today. Every event from the past has its own place in time and falls into chronological order. If it didn't, nothing would make sense and we would not have advanced like we did. Different people of history have changed the way we live, whether it made things better or worse. Right now we are we are becoming a part of history. One day, students will be studying about the way we live and what life was like for us, just as we study about our ancestors and what it was like for them. .
             I believe history should be studied because it can open up peoples" minds to thinking more logically and setting more goals. It lays down more standards for our lives and gives us a chance to correct the mistakes of our present for the people of the future. .
