Important Properties of History
Created | Updated Sep 21, 2005
Our past experiences are vital clues to help us understand people’s behaviour. History can provide resources and artifacts from previous wars to analyse valuable lessons unobtainable in a current peace time. All social theories would be virtually useless without the input of how we have dealt with family life and other aspects in societal developments.
How we got to be what we are today is important. Our past displays trends and pattern; the causes and effects of a change of Political Parties in the Congress will certainly link up with earlier transgressions. The factors in past elections are keys to our problems, like the low voter turnouts.
History provides a window to the thoughts and beliefs of people as they contribute to the ever changing story of society. A well lived life can inspire hopes and dreams that would never be realized without an aspiring example; the shockingly unacceptable opinion from another Age might do brilliantly in our present times. The beauty of an appealing tale can even seduce us to alleviate our worries.
Hard-earned rights are better appreciated by posterity who comprehends the great sacrifices committed in order to achieve a common goal. Impossible obstacles unsurpassed by an individual become weak barriers against the rumblings of many. We can benefit from studying the significances of our past when making future decisions.
Identities are uncovered by history. Many nations urge and encourage the people to form commitments and loyalty to motherlands by examining heritage. Confirming family trees and tracing bloodline origins prompts a special sense of pride in the national experience and ethnic groups.
We are neither neglecting our duties to others nor ignoring how consequences of our choices affect humanity. As citizens of the world, we study history’s wealth of information accumulated throughout the centuries to seek our unique conduct codes. We can compare, contrast, and learn from the remains of the giant puzzle called Humans. History is not often clear or simple. A student of the past must organise wide ranges of different and sometimes contrary data to form accurate conjectures in situations where there seems to be none at all! The intricate knots woven by our ancestors are certainly worth further scrutiny.
