We study history for three key reasons: 1) History does not stay in the past and continues to impact the present and future. 2) Studying history helps us understand how past events shaped current society. 3) Learning from history allows us to avoid past mistakes and create a better future.

1. We study history because history
doesn’t stay behind us.
2. Studying history helps us understand
how events in the past made things the
way they are today.
3. With lessons from the past, we not only
learn about ourselves and how we came
to be, but also develop the ability to
avoid mistakes and create better paths
for our societies.

UNDERSTAND CHANGE
● When you build your knowledge of history, you
understand more about what created our present-day
society.
● Studying the American civil rights movement shows
you how people organize successfully against
oppressive systems.
● Learning about the fall of Mughals teaches you that
even the most powerful society can fall apart—and
what happens to cause that crumbling.
● By learning about different eras and their respective
events, you start to see what changes might happen in
the future and what would drive that change.

warning signs of many kinds of
disaster, from genocide to climate

make you a more informed citizen and

THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE

and take solace in the fact that
others have gone through similar
struggles
