The pace of
life is very fast nowadays. It is not easy to learn new technologies especially
if you know that tomorrow your knowledge will be out-of-date. So it seems not
so strange that people do not see reasons for studying the past.
I disagree
with them. I strongly believe that learning our history is necessary and
useful. Without such knowledge people will not know who they truly are, what
are their family roots, etc. It is impossible to be a real patriot without
knowledge about your country, about the place where you were born. Some people
say the world is now a global village. That is true. And this is the reason why
you should know a lot about you and your country, about your identity.
Without the
past it is rather hard to create a bright future. Making the same mistakes
other people made one hundred years ago is not what you can be proud of. If you
know a lot about the II World War, you will try to do almost everything to
avoid potential next war. It is easy to imagine the results of bad decisions.
If children
are not taught history, they will not know who they are, what is their
identity.
