Recommended: History importance

History is important to me because I have been trained that we lose time rather than gain it due to our Western way of English that quantifies times as something to be counted and ticked away. As a linguistics major with a deep interest in history, I gained more perspective on history after learning about Hopi culture. The Hopi see the time as gaining increments and preparing for the next. Upon knowing that I realized that history and events are not about lost to mourn over but instead events that can prepare me for the present. In that same vein, history prepares everyone for the present that that is why it is important. That is why history is important to me, it lays the road map of what can be created rather than what is done. My passion

    1993 Words  | 4 Pages

    Did you know that the Ancient Indian people of the Southwestern United States have dated back to the year 10,000 BC? First appearing toward the end of the last Ice Age, they were the first “Americans.” (Noble, 1998) When Christopher Columbus arrived in the America’s in 1492 and seeing the people of this land for the first time, he thought that he had landed in India, thus giving them the name “Indians.” (Noble, 1998) However, he was nowhere near India, or that region of the world. Because the Ancient Indians were nomadic people, (people who wondered the lands with no permanent home) through the years they developed, separated, and re-located their clans, developing into what we know today as the American Indian. One group or tribe, are the Hopi Indians. Although the Hopi are still a tribe today, mostly living in Arizona, their population, traditions, skills, and crafts have dwindled throughout the years.

    We determine what is important in history by how much it impacts the future. Events such as the Revolutionary War and Civil War will always be remembered in U.S. history. They had such a large impact on the shaping of our country and therefore will never be forgotten. Other events, however, such as the 1750 London earthquake is something not many people know about. Many parts of history will and have stood the test of time. World War I and II will both be remembered. They stay remembered because of how they affected the world. In both World Wars over 40 million people died. Other parts of history have faded away such as the War of 1812. It has faded away a bit because “only” around 23,000 people died.

    Culture can be described as a set of ideas along with a pattern of behaviors that are taught, learned and passed through generations of people. The culture of a society or group has its own non-genetic traits that govern how individuals interact with others and the environment. Just as genetic traits evolve so can a culture, a shift or change in the environment can prompt a transformation on many different levels (Park, p.33,406). For instance, when the Spanish introduced horses to Native Americans it set off a chain of cultural events that changed Native Americans culture drastically. Although Native American tribes language, customs, and traditions varied greatly they all shared very semitrailer hunting techniques, and the prized game during

  • The Perspective And The Purpose Of History

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    History is a story told over time. It is a way of recreating the past so it can be studied in the present and re-interpreted for future generations. Since humans are the sole beneficiaries of history, it is important for us to know what the purpose of history is and how historians include their own perspective concerning historical events. The purpose and perspective of history is vital in order for individuals to realise how it would be almost impossible for us to live out our lives effectively if we had no knowledge of the past. Also, in order to gain a sound knowledge of the past, we have to understand the political, social and cultural aspects of the times we are studying.

  • Does History Matter?

    988 Words  | 2 Pages

    Millions of people have gone great lengths to record every part of the past. We may not know much about the future but we have more than enough information about the past. The knowledge about our past has helped us in many ways. Historians, teachers, doctors, students, lawyers and many more have relied on history books and researches on significant events in history to prove their point. The question why history matters has been asked many times. It has been asked by students, teachers and parents sometimes. Some people may see this question as ridiculously easy but I see it as one of the hardest ones yet asked. Does History matter? This question can’t be answered in one sentence. Try asking people why history is important and the answer is usually “It’s to learn from our mistakes”. It’s not right to summarize over 4 billion years of history in one sentence. This question can be easily answered in numerous ways. I would side with the numerous historians who say history holds huge significance. History is older than any object or human being we have ever come across. History has proved itself significance with the help of human beings. We, the people have used history and made it one the most significant thing in present. History holds itself significant because it has helped us understand human behaviors, change in societies, mistakes influential figures have made in past, the past events occurrence and many other reasons. The most important reason is that history protects us by preparing us for the incoming. This essay would analyze the importance of history today by using the past events for evidence.
