Advantages
of Learning History
1.
Become a More Rounded Person
History
is full of stories. Some are inspiring and uplifting; others are chaotic and
immoral. Tap into the vivid realm of history, and there are many vital lessons
your child needs to learn. They will study times of suffering and times of joy,
and the lessons they learn here can then be applied to their own life
experience. Studying history also encourages a deeper understanding of
difference. There are lessons, both good and bad, to be learned from the way
our ancestors have interacted with other people who have different ways of
living. In a modern world where inclusivity is embraced no matter your
background, an understanding of how past societies have integrated is key to
humanity improving in the future.

History changes depending on the lens we look at it through
History may have already happened, and we may already think we know ‘History’
as it stands however, History can always change. The voices and the lenses we
see and learn History through have been re-evaluated and re-addressed throughout
the generations. Feminist historians began to question how accurate HIS-story
was in relation to HER-story. They began to uncover views that differed from
the traditional view of women through different historical events. Historians
of Black History in the United States began to uncover hidden figures and those
intentionally excluded when they delved into the orthodox Historical
viewpoints. History gives people a voice and it is important that we continue
to look back with our modern perspectives and viewpoints and that we challenge
the monotone voice of History, to improve our questioning and provide memory
for those who have been forgotten or pushed out.
