2. HISTORY
Comes from the
word “histria” means “to inquire”
Is the study (teaching) of
the ”past”, with special attention to
the written record of the activities
of human beings over time.

3. HISTORIANS
Scholars who write a
history. It is a field of
research which uses
narrative to examine and
analyze the sequence of
events, and it often attempts
to investigate objectively the
patterns of cause and
effect that determine
events. Historians debate
the nature of history and the
lessons history teaches.

4. “Those who cannot
remember the past
are condemned to
repeat it.”
By: George Santanaya

5. WHY STUDY HISTORY? . .
We need to study history to
understand the past and
present. The different
interpretations of the past allows
us to see the present differently
and therefore imagine and work
towards different futures.

6. . . .Through the study of history we
can investigate and interpret why
society developed as it has and
determine what influences have
affected the past and present and
shape the future. It helps one to
understand the immense complexity
of our world and provides insights to
help cope with the problems and
possibilities of the present and
future.

7. . . . History also provides a
sense of identity to
understand the collective
past that has have made us
what we are today. In one
sense history is the only
thing that is real.

8. . . . The way in which people
identify and interact with one
another is by and large a
consequence of history, which
shapes and conditions
individuals and societies whether
they fully understand it or not

9. . . .History is also a bridge to other
disciplines. In order to understand
the other humanities and the
sciences one needs an historical
overview. Writers, artists, scientists,
politicians and everyday people all
are conditioned by the historical
milieu in which they lived. Historical
knowledge is a prerequisite for
understanding the world in which
we live.

10. . . . History prepares us to live more
humanely in the present and to
meet the challenges of the future
because it provides us with
understanding of the human
condition. History is a means of
disseminating and comprehending
the wisdom and folly of our
forbears.

11. HISTORY IS FUN . . .
History fulfills our desire to
know and understand
ourselves and our ancestors.
History allows one to
vicariously experience
countless situations and
conditions, which stimulates
the imagination and creativity.
It also trains its students to
read intelligently, think
critically, and write effectively.

12. HISTORY HAS BEEN CALLED
“RARE MEMORY” . . .
Just as a man's memory links
his past life to the present, so
the history of a nation is its
memory of its past. How could
we live as indi-viduals without
memory?

13. USES OF HISTORY . . .
The use of history would
be so that you can
understand where people
come from, and how
common the human
condition is throughout the
passage of time.

14. . . . There have been strange cases
of complete loss of memory. A
man has suddenly forgotten his
name and who he is. His past life
has become an absolute blank to
him. In such a case, a man has to
begin life all over again.

15. . . .There have been strange
cases of complete loss of
memory. A man has suddenly
forgotten his name and who he
is. His past life has become an
absolute blank to him. In such
a case, a man has to begin life
all over again.

16. . . . He really loses his identity,
and has to learn to be another
person. In the same way, if a
nation knows nothing of its
history, it has lost its " nation-
memory", and so its identity. It
is practically a new nation,
with all to learn.

17. . . . And if we know nothing of the
history of our country, we cannot
have the true feeling of
nationhood; for we cannot enter
into its traditions, its national
feelings and ambitions. A
knowledge of its history gives us
the key to the spirit of our nation.

18. . . .The present has grown out of
the past, as the flower has
developed from the seed. We
cannot understand properly our
present national customs,
thoughts and ideals, and our
present institutions, if we do not
know how these things have
come to be what they are.

19. . . . The British Parliament, for
example, has at the back of it a
history of centuries of gradual
development. No one can hope
fully to understand the
pe-culiarly British system of
"government by free
discussion", which has become
the model of all democratic
countries, without a knowledge
of that long history. And in all
na-tional matters, it is the
history of the past that explains
the present.

20. . . . Moreover the future will grow out of
the present, as the present has grown
out of the past. What we shall be and
do as a nation depends on what we are
and do now and that has resulted from
what we were and did in the past. So
statesmen must know the history of
their country, so as to be able to save
their nation committing again the
mistakes of the past, and guide it on
right lines for the future.

21. HISTORICAL RESOURCES . . .
 Using Primary Sources
Primary sources are
interesting to read for their own
sake: they give us first hand, you-
are-there insights into the past.
They are also the most important
tools an historian has for
developing an understanding of an
event.

27. I CHOOSE HISTORY . . .
I choose history as my topic because I
want to inform to the students that history
subject is not a boring subject. History is
interesting subject because we broadens the
mind, enlarges the sympathies and quickens
the imagination. As we read of the great deeds
done by our forefathers, and the achievements
of other nations, our mind becomes peopled
with many noble and great figures. We come
to feel a deeper interest, not only in our own
people, but in all mankind. The study of
history can give us much pleasure and
instruction. And to have idea what happen in
the past.

30. . . . I learned that study history helps us to
know great things happened in the past
in order to understand the present and
prepare for the future. And to know their
past mistakes or success, and hopefully
we can predict the future. We need to
know first where we came from for
better sense of realism and to understand
well our surrounding. And in this subject
we understand people, how they act and
why they acted.

31. . . .History isn't just learning dates of events
it is something that can help us shape and
create our futures. History improves
decision making and judgment. Through
history both good and bad examples of
decision-making are given. History offers
the opportunity to learn from past
examples of others. History provides the
opportunity to see how society has
changed over the centuries. It provides a
better understanding of people and
culture. Now I know how history
important to our life.
