3. My Intoduction
History, I like to think, is a larger way of looking at life. It is a source of strength, of inspiration. It is about who we are and what we stand for and essential to our understanding of what our own role should be in our time. History, as can’t be said to often, is human. It is about people, and they speak to us across the years.

4. Why History is Important!!! It’s what makes us……….US!!!

20. 4 Minute Writing Assignment
Why Study History
There are many reasons to study history. For example, history provides a good background for careers in law, journalism, teaching, engineering and politics. Since most people will change careers many times in the course of their life, it is desirable to have as wide an educational experience as practical to prepare for future possibilities. Another reason for studying history is that it provides a framework for understanding the other humanities, such as the fine arts, literature, philosophy and religion, as well as the other social sciences (psychology, economics and sociology). History also helps to develop active and intelligent citizens who can distinguish between the important and the inconsequential, fact and conjecture, evidence and assertion, and make informed judgments in personal and public life. Finally, the study of history is a humbling experience, for the historical record is resplendent with tales of grandeur, ignorance, deceit, arrogance and brutality.
