Do you like History....

History repeats itself. Most people fail to learn the lessons of history. We need to take a necessary actions to help prevent those events from happening again.

People are not taught history anymore..... just watch some "Watter's World" videos on youtube. I love U.S. history!

True but then we aren't in a perfect world and there are some really mean forgetful people that will never learn.

I like parts of history. I love old buildings and the stories they have. I love the history of people who made good changes to the world and why they did it. I am not into wars and politics of the past because nothing has changed too much, though I know a lot of it because it plays into a lot of my other interests.

History was one of my favorite subjects in school. I love History and now instead of reading I usually watch the History Channel which always has lots of interesting stuff. I could learn about it forever Marcy.

I think we, the people, learn from #history, it's the leaders that don't.

I had a 30 hour minor in History in college. Enough hours to have a double major, if I had a foreign language. So, I'm sure you can understand why I feel the same way. 70 years ago there was a terrible war that devastated a good part of Europe and large parts of Asia. Did we learn anything from that? Well, Israel is mass killing Palestinians, often in retaliatory actions of one person. There are people here that are killing other people because they don't have the "right" skin color, that seem to admire those who thought to exterminate whole groups of people that they deemed unacceptable. We need to rethink what is being taught in schools...

The more you read about history, and I mean the real history, you realize how stupid people were. And when you look at the world now, we are just as stupid and ignorant. Yes, we advanced in technology and science. But we are still barbarians. When will the human population wake up and learn.

I think history is (or at-least is understood as) an Inevitable Pattern theinevitabledossier.com/us/content/view/42/57/ When people make history-changing decisions, they're hardly-ever thinking of "the needs of the many" but are usually only thinking about 'their own needs' (either immediately or in-the-distant-future). i.e. they may KNOW that a situation could be more-optimal if a decision-maker had been more-selfless; but they also know how they 'have to react' to actions in the current situation---"You got-ta go do-mi-no"

You are so right. I agree we can learn so much by looking back specially from our mistakes. History is valuable. The only problem I see with history is determining what actually happened.

@Marcyaz I like to know about history when it is told like a story. For exam purpose I hate it because it is very hard to remember the date, year and the period of the war as well as the name of the war or battle. You mentioned that to learn something, but I don't know the thing which, is called some.

They say history repeats itself. So you would think that we would learn from history.

I couldn't agree with you more. I didn't care much for history when I was younger but as I get older, I like it and appreciate it more.

I absolutely love history but we didn't really learn much about it in school. So I love to watch lots of documentaries on pretty much everything especially history to learn for myself.

I like history, I always think they are nice stories to read. I remember reading every emperors in ancient China needed to read the history and the teachings, but there were still many emperors repeating the same mistakes. I guess some people just hardly escape from the traps.

That is exactly the main reason why we need to study history. It is not only about preserving historical accounts for records purposes. I could still remember my History teacher in high school. He asked why we need to study history. And the perfect answer we never made was to keep the same mistakes from happening again and again.

On the lighter sides - Of course, people have been learning from history. It is just that there is a saying - History Repeats itself. And that is what many people out there are trying to prove... The wars, the merciless barbaric killings, abuse, religion and what not. On the normal side: Yes, I loved to study history at school More so because of the wonderful teacher we had. She would make things look so real. As of today, I dont find much use of history in normal day to day life, but then, the fact remains - there is a wealth of things in History. And there are a lot of areas that are still so very relevant - it is wrong to have them in the History thing.

I do love history especially when I was in college

Yes,I do.In fact,I love history.Especially the history of India.It teaches me invaluable lessons.
