Studying history is important for several reasons: 1) It helps us understand how past events led to current situations and allows us to learn from past mistakes to create a better future. 2) Examining past societies, systems, and technologies helps us understand how they developed and changed over time. 3) Learning the stories and legends that shaped a nation provides context for how institutions were formed and how they contributed to where a country is today.

 Studying history helps us understand how events in the past made things
the way they are today. With lessons from the past, we not only learn about
ourselves and how we came to be, but also develop the ability to avoid
mistakes and create better paths for our societies.
 Through history, we can learn how past societies, systems, ideologies,
governments, cultures and technologies were built, how they operated,
and how they have changed.
 Nations are made up of a collection of stories and legends. These stories
shape the way we think about our country and our standing within it. History is
where we learn about how great institutions are formed, and how they’ve
contributed to where we are today.
 For many of us, looking back at incredible fellow countrymen is a way of
establishing our own identity. Finding who we are and what mark we can make
on the world is a huge part of childhood. Allowing children to learn about the
identity of their country is one way of facilitating that.

 “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
George Santayana’s quote is one of academia’s most cited and
paraphrased lines, and one that explains perfectly why everyone should
study history. The past is filled with warning signs. We must be able to
reflect on the events that built up to them, learn from mistakes made and
resist and question if we see similar patterns emerging.
 If your child studies history, they will be able to identify when society is
going down perilous routes and contribute towards getting it back on track.
