In the concept of history, it may have occurred to you to say (why should we study history?)

With this question, we get the answer that history is a lesson for learning and advice.

The exact meaning of history is as follows:

History is full of stories. It is caused by chaos or order or events that occur. By determining and recognizing time and ordering it, we can seek to understand the past in "facts". And from these stories we hope to be able to explain our decisions and our processes that are formed in our being. It can even be possible for us to have models and lessons that are a way to guide ourselves, our answers and we can distill today's challenges. History is the study of people, actions, decisions, interactions and behaviors. It is so persuasive because it depicts themes that reveal the human condition in all its guises and resonate through time: strength, weakness, corruption, tragedy, triumph...these themes are nowhere to be found. are not It is not clearer than political history, it is still the core. This is the field and the most important approaches to the study of history. However, political history has become out of fashion and subsequently discredited and wrongly demonized as obsolete and irrelevant. The result has been that the usefulness of ordering, explaining and distilling past lessons has been significantly removed.

The science of history can be in the form of wonderful stories that instruct us and study the history of people, a new narrative that is full of great characters and stories of turmoil and chaos where it is defeat or victory. Each generation adds its own chapters to history and reinterprets and finds new things in the same chapters already written.

In addition to giving advice, the science of history also gives us a sense of identity. By understanding (where do we come from? Who do we belong to?), with this question and research in the past, we can better understand who we are and where we came from. History in every field provides for our life and our existence. It helps us understand how things are and how we might approach the future.

History teaches us what it means to be human and highlights the great achievements and catastrophic mistakes of the human race. History also teaches us by example and gives us pointers on how to better organize and manage our societies for the benefit of all.
