What are the benefits of studying history?
Why do people need to study history?
Often times I hear people ask me why you study history? What is the importance of science history? And what about its prospects? But that those who do not know or even deliberately underestimated the History of Science which may be according to their history is not useful because they can not create jobs is widespread. Since the time people see history as a classic example of life, this theory is referred to as The examplar Theory of History. History can provide a value or norm that can be used as a guide for daily life. For the Chinese history is a mirror of life. The tradition of writing history for the Chinese nation is very old. King or the ruling dynasty is obliged to write the history of the king or dynasty replaces. Such phrases in the ancient Romans expressed in the adage: Historia vitae magistra, which means that history is the teacher of life. In order to live a better person to have studied history. If you make me sich history is a mirror to tread the future, by studying history we can learn to respond to a phenomenon of the present and future.
History is a record of accumulated human experience. Studying history is studying all forms of peak experiences and the changes that have been accomplished man throughout his life. From the history of the human past to obtain supplies and starting point to build a new history. Human life should always be in dialogue with the historical past to be able to build a history in the present, and projecting the view into the history in the future. Historical dimension requires men to always strive for reform and progress.
According to Robert Jones Shafer (1974) the benefit of history are as follows:
1. Expanding human experiences.
Studying history is tantamount to dialogue with the community and the nation anywhere and at any time. From historical experience that one can draw from the experiences in dealing with and solving problems that life in all its aspects such as political, economic, social and cultural rights. Basically the problems of human life is almost the same, different is the detail and intensity. How to cope with and respond to problems, both intellectually and emotionally, not too different. By learning the history, therefore, a person's attitude and personality will become more mature.
2. By studying history would enable someone to be able to see things as a whole (to see Things whole).
History offers many and varied (the multiplicity or variety) and condition of the human experience. There is no discipline that is able to present records of human experience that is so thorough, in addition to history. Religion, philosophy, and other social sciences to contribute the same, but only to the extent and according to the way science itself. Overall dimensions in history is expected to be
able to establish the integrity of the human personality.
3. History has an important role in the formation of national identity and personality.
A society or nation will probably never know who they are and how they became what it is today without knowing the history. History of the identity of the nation has a reciprocal relationship. Historical roots are deep and long will reinforce the existence and the identity and personality of a nation. Nation, therefore, be proud and love of history and culture.
Nugent (Creative Huistory: 1967) to answer the question why we need to learn the history of the two terms,
1. How can history help us Make a living? (How history can help us to live).
2. How can history help us Become better person? (How history can help us become a better person) History as a human experience provides a variety of alternatives to choose so many ways of living (a multitude of Airways).
To answer that question Nugent said clearly that''other peoples Know, know yourself.''Everyone is a product of society and society is the product of the past, is the product of history. By studying history we will be able to avoid many mistakes and shortcomings of the past society to then improve the future. Now what is there to say that the science of history was not important?
