Why is important the History?

Question

Is a final school project

Answer 1

Knowing history helps you to keep from repeating mistakes.  For example if you have ever burned yourself on a stove, you know that's a bad thing to do.  You tell others what happened and (hopefully) they won't do it.  

Of course, some people never learn.  That is why they say those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.  

Answer 2

because when you learn the history you know how to deal with the future  

Answer 3

The same as your memory is the knowledge of your life, experiences and  past, that lets you know who you are and where you are going.

History is the memory of  mankind, our past and what we have gone thorough thousands of years.

Mistakes and success. Helping man to avoid the first and  repeat the latter.

"Not to know what happened before  we were born is to perpetually remain in a total childish ignorance"

Cicerone

Answer 4

"Those who do not know their history are condemned to repeat it"

Translation: If you don't learn from the past, you're not going to succeed in the future. It's as simple as that. History is important in various ways. From learning about past mistakes to learning about you're ancestry. It serves multiple purposes. But unfortunately, there's always going to be someone who thinks they can do better then previously and usually end up making the same mistakes. So in essence, it IS very important to know about the past. So in that case, you can improve on what the previous generations made mistakes in.  

Answer 5

Answer 6

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

George Santayana.
