Why would one need to study history? Please post your thoughts here, teachers very welcome!!

I'm sure you aren't - but this could be seen as a sneaky attempt to get others to do your homework for you.

Start by having a look at this page - http://www.schoolhis...links/why.shtml - and then think yourself - what are the benefits of studying history.

Perhaps if you then post your ideas, we can comment on them.

I re-read my question, and it does seem like that I'm being sneaky... but I have to write a paper.... and what I'm doing is researching, writing down things that I like and then off of them, I broaden off of those to find better, more intresting topics... So far I've chosen that everything has a history, so If you do study it, it [history] could greatly enhance a proffesion or a class at school, etc. I wouldn't consider this trying to get others to do my homework for me, but If it is, I'm terribly sorry, and I wasn't aware that I wasn't supposed to do this... and I will try and get this deleted.

Hi - no this isn't a problem - but we have a very clear policy of trying to help people find their own answers!

You have begun to do this with some research. Do post some of your ideas here and then we can help add to them.
