Is history and the study of it important?

History is actually the study of the past and it is important for all of us to understand it, so that we can learn from the mistakes in the past and avoid them in the future. As such, I think that we have to improve ourselves to suit this competitive society and History also teaches us valuable and important lessons in which other subjects doesn't offer. It also let us learn more about the people, generations and the development of our ever-changing society. History also provides us with unlimited knowledge from the past, and that we can apply such knowledge in our daily lives, be it solutions to problems we face or to think of creative and fresh ideas.
Many people do not like to learn History and they don't know how to appreciate it. They think that History is boring which is just being about studying dead people or other forms of remnants. History on the other hand requires some kind of critical skill-thinking and improves our level of understanding through exercises like Source-based questions. These questions include using or making an inference, staing the purpose and also looking out for evdences to support it. It lets us decipher whether whether a sorce or rather, a report is reliable or not. then it also sometimes state whether it is a fact or opinion.
So, all in all, I personally feel that the study of History is counted as necesssary because, it not only improves our live skills, it also trains us to be a better person in future. This is actually my first time doing a blog so don't expect much from this......=)
